[QUOTE="dbmach12004, post: 6672610, member: 22596"] I have recently started working on restoring my mom's BMW 325i back to it's old glory, the only issue I have is what to do with this paint. The car isn't in the worst shape and I think I could wet sand most of it but there are a few areas that look like the clear coat is peeling. I read through allot of the posts and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for, any and all help would be appreciated. This is the worst part, it's on both the drivers side and passenger side of the hood.
