if its pealing, most likely it has been repainted and it will continue to peel off. If its a very small area, see if you can lightly sand it with 1200 grit and buff it a bit, maybe it has a layer of clear underneath and you can buff that layer out a bit.

what?!!?
a painter that's worth a damn would not spray a base and a clear over the factory base and clear.
you just doubled the mil thickness of the panel for no reason. an OEM quality job is to sand down to at least the factory base.

If it's small, just touch up. Otherwise, get a quote.
