Anyone else have clearcoat problems?
My brother (99 Camaro SS) just got his rear spoiler painted b/c a spot about 1" x 1" the clearcoat completely came off and looked like as*.
My other brother (01 Camaro SS) has a few spots on the area between the t-tops and rear hatch. His are real small bubbles where the clearcoat is missing.
Both cars have under 50k miles, are taken good care of-they aren't always garaged but on average I would say 3-4 times a week. Just thought that they are both fairly new cars to be having problems with the clear coat coming off. Just curious if anyone else had these problems.

You think that's a problem...
The Halloween before I bought my car some kids decided to play a prank on some cars in the guys neighborhood I bought it from.
What did they do? Put honey on the windows of some cars.
Well, the honey ran down onto the top of the door, and the result? Click here and you will see. Not exactly as easy just to get the whole door repainted. I would have to get the door repainted, then get the paint on the fender and quater panel blended, etc. So I am just waiting until I can get the whole car done, and until then, I've got a nice eyesore to look at.
