Default clearcoat flaking off bumper

Any idea how to fix the clearcoat on my front bumper. It is flaking off in a few sections but the black paint underneath looks fine. I was thinking I could lightly sand it and spray on some more clearcoat. Then maybe take a buffer to it. Or should I just order a new pre-painted bumper from ebay for around $280.

Get it recleared at any reputable body and paint guy or get the bumper from ebay if it is cheaper and looks like it came from the factory!

If its the car in your sig, a little clearcoat & a wax job should make it ready for showtime

I`ve done that on one of my cars. It works until the whole car needs a repaint.
