Meaning, do they put clear over the top of it again? Would it last longer than regular paint with clear coat? I’m looking to get four calipers and maybe my wheels redone…but I’m willing to pay if this is the route to go. My wheels are experiencing a similar issue…the clearcoat is peeling (but much more than his). ---

if its a rock chip in the clear of the polished lip put a tiny dab of clear nailpolish on it to seal it otherwise water gets under there and works on the clear. My FAILMAX wheels did it and totally ruined one wheel. Thats one of the reasons they are now solid white ---
