So, as said above, they only way for a flawless fix is respray. My painter first tried to just respray a tiny area and blend in, but it was a bit obvious. He then sprayed a larger area (from jamb down to moulding up to rubber window seal) and then blended out for perfect color match.
This is the full and expensive way to do it. He said if you simply try to re-clear, you'll always see it and it'll always bother you.
For some, the cheaper and smaller fix might be good enough, but I wanted perfect.
Price is hard to say cause I had other work done. If that was all I needed, it'd probably be like $800-1k.
I'll post a pic at sime point. I may have a "before" close up of the clear coat failure still/// 2004 SilberGrau M3 · Coupe · 6spd · slicktop · zero options · Instagram
