Clearcoat Failure Aftermarket Spoiler
I have a Stivo Ducktail spoiler and it appears that part of the clearcoat is already starting to lift.
Similar to the first picture in this thread... http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...ieoChuMWWqa.97 Anything I can do about it? Pretty disappointing since I paid a premium for the lip and its only a couple years old.

temporarily you may be able to wet sand the flaking clear and blend it with some compound and buffer.

Just bad prep before paint or an improper application process. Not uncommon with pre-painted aftermarket parts.

Well if it all peels off just consider it a weight reduction.

True. You may have to drain some acid from the battery to balance back out.
