    not happy my clear coat is pealing...

    Base coat seems fine but all of the sudden my clear coat is pealing and it gets bigger and bigger since when it rains water gets under clear coat and peals... whats your suggestion on to repairing it i was thinking of buyin like 10 cans of dupli color clear spray paint and just redo trunk and roof ( two spots where its pealing bad)

    Welcome to the joys of 80's car paint jobs. It might work, but I don't know if it will react with the stock clear or not.

      The car needs to be repainted. You're not going to get proper results with rattle can clear. I've also never had decent endurance out of any rattle can paint in any environment to tell you the truth.

                        Clearcoat may or may not be factory, depending on the paint code.

                          Dear Panthers, 83 countrysquire asked:how much you think it would coast to do that


                          Eight years ago I paid $2000 to remove vinyl, fix misc rust spots and repaint my wagon. Solid paint, no clearcoat. It's held up well, never garaged. My body man told me the paint alone, were I to redo it, would cost $2500 now.
