Got some clear coat peeling on the bed cover. Any ideas on ways to address other than repaint?

Was afraid so. Was thinking about a piece of clear wrap across the top to abate it but.

Oh well, spend the bucks.

I suppose you could wrap it.

If you are at all picky about the way your truck looks I doubt you'll be satisfied with anything except a repaint. I did PPF on mine to protect the paint and it's worked well.

I could tell you about a temporary fix but it's a lot of work for a 6 month at best repair. I'm about to wet sand the remaining clear coat off and shoot it with some new clear coat in spray cans. My neighbor did that to an old VW Jetta and it turned out pretty good. Good luck,
