Clear Coat Peeling on Front Bumper

I have a 1998 Pontiac Firebird, and on the front bumper, near the bottom, the clear coat is starting to peel, and I don't know how to stop it.

My car is painted the multi-color paint (it changes between green, blue and purple). It is very expensive paint, and I don't know what to do to stop it from peeling.

Thanks!

i would say wet sand it and then go buy some clear and shoot it agian. but wet sand about 1500 or 2000 grit, but go ask a automotive paint shop. i'll try to ask my autobody teacher about it.

Had my car painted last year. Had the nose repainted twice now. They say the Chroma series paint needs no flex agent, I'm thinking it sure does at this point. Heck of a nice finish otherwise though.
