Yeah..that's a tough one. Super fine paint texture, almost like crepe paper. I suspect too much clear, too many coats. You have to get the panel temp up to 140 to really make a difference, an infra red temp gun helps! I used to polish it up, then re polish a few months later.

it has 5 coats of clear and baked after it cam out i cut it with 800 complete and let it sit for about 3-4 months then came back and blocked it with 1000 1200 1500 2000 2500 3000  them polished it and set it off to the chassic shop and glass shop that was in aug now its back and looks good but looks like fat ladys ass no peel but not real flat just re did it with 1500 and 2000  custmer thinks it looks great but i just dont think its what it should be guess i am being to picky lol
