Peeling paint is often the result of age and repeated exposure to the sun and elements. The UV rays from sunlight can cause the protective clear coat of your car’s paint to fade off, resulting in the paint to peel. Sometimes using incompatible paint products in repairs can also cause the paint to peel. Whatever the cause, peeling paint can be repaired by sanding it off until bare metal is exposed. Succeeding sprays or brushing on of primer, paint and clear coat, allowing time for drying and sanding in between coats.
