Quoted from DuffysArcade:

I am at a loss for what to do. Install a mylar over it all?

If the lifted areas are not addressed first any type of overlay would be pointless.

Quoted from JodyG:

I think if you clearcoat before the overlay is put on and then after the overlay is installed, it would act the same way as a decal.

I know I've heard that same reasoning before but, it just doesn't seem logical to me. I mean if you clear coat then overlay and CC again it changes the outcome????? I could see it perhaps slowing the process down but if an adhesion problem occurs it will transfer right through the CC that was applied on top. Seems it would be no different than painting over loose paint, looks good for a while but, eventually the loose paint releases damaging or taking the new with it. I guess I can't see the results being better than the base you start with.
