Same question but mine is metallic underneathComment

If its not metallic you can buff the lacquer and blend it in with the colour coat underneath, put loads of wax on after and it looks OK.
If it is metallic the above process is much more visible put if its peeling bad you ain't got a lot to lose in giving it a go.
Also with non metallic you can sand back the lacquer with a p800 wet and dry and providing you don't break through the color coat have a lacquer only respray.sigpic

When i was on the hunt for an straight avant, lots of them had laquer peel around the roof bars, its not exactly hard to remove them for prep before painting, its called lazy preppers/paintersComment
