Not any painting expert, but I have helped paint a few cars and painted one myself. There's really not much you could do once the clear coat starts to peel. The only option you have is to re-spraythe clear. Get an estimate from a shop as to how much it would cost. If money is your issue and you need to save every last cent, then get an estimate for spray alone and wetsand it yourself. ALSO, if you're a beginner to wetsanding I would youtube or research how to wetsand properly. It's not just getting sandpaper with water and start rubbing down. There's certain techniques used to get a good sand down. Plus, if you're going to sand it down yourself, make sure not to cut into the turquoise paint as well. Meaning, don't sand too much that you sand past your turqouise color. Because that would mean you would have to respray the turquoise paint as well as the clear coat.
