Clear-coat is peeling off... Need Advice

It is peeling off where the front side-marker is..
It is about thumb size.. I know it is continuously peeling off.
One of the autoshop told me $150 for fixing it.
It is a reasonable price?

Any recommendation?

What is Acura's warranty on the paint? 10 years? Most car companies are at least 5....

Call Acura...

Not so much is it a good price .. is it going to be quality work.

Has that area ever been repainted? Something usually causes clear to fail.

When I replace my side-marker for type-s side-marker.
It might have affect on clear-coat paint...

if you chipped the paint there then it should have all come off, just not the clear coat. Can you post a picture of the spot? You might want to go to acura and see what they have to say.
