My skeleton is already showing, but I don't even give. When I repaint my car I'll jut tell them to shoot it the same color as the car.

MAybe you can wet sand with a fine 1500-2000 grit to work away some of the upper layer of the clear coat, then reshoot with some nice clear coat.

It can definetly be done, just be carefull not to sand too much or you will end up tearin up the fibers.
