Is there anything I can do? My wife and I got back from our vacation only to find the roof of her Elky is flaking off! Well, the clearcoat at least. Is there any hope?

Looks like it's time for a trip to the body shop to have the roof resprayed.

Nope. Time to get it redone at the body shop.

From what I can see of the pictures in the gallery your paint looks recent. To get clear coat separation on a young paint job is unusual. How long ago was it painted? Have you kept it protected with a good wax or polish?

You may have recourse with whomever painted it if the paint is not that old.
