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....

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.

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.
