The owner before me had the clear coat protection sprayed on what is now my mystique. This protection (after seven years of being parked out-side in harsh weather) is starting to flake around some of the edges of my car and dirt & wax getting traped in-between my paint job and where the clear coat is flakeing. It doesn't look very good. Is there anything i can do to file down the spots where my clear coat is flakeing, without doing damage to the paint, myself? + How much would it cost me to get a decent paint job?

Thanks,
