Clearcoat cracking and peeling


Hello!

I just noticed that my '96 Civic's clearcoat was beginning
to crack and peel off at certains points.... (Damn! Its a thicker
coating that I expected!)...around the headlamps, side pass
windows, edge of wheelwells.

Is this normal?

What can I do about it short and long term?

I am not interested in looks as much as protecting the
orginal paint against rust.

Thanks in advance.

On May 01, 2003, President Bush declared that,
"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

"I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain --
I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the
interesting thing about being the president.
Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they
say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody
an explanation. "
