Either the clear coat failed, or the paint under it failed and there is no real way to tell which unless they admit a bad paint run like they 'seldom' have to when all the paint peels off piles of them like the older blue or silver Cherokees. The whole paint job has been compromised somehow and nothing short of sandblasting or somehow stripping it back to bare metal or primer and starting all over again on the whole vehicle will put it right.

Re: SON OF A B*^#&!!!
That is the top layer of the paint job. It is a harder layer there to
protect the softer paint. Likely way cheaper to do it this way. They can put on soft paint and only need a hard outer shell to get the same life out of it. Unfortunately when it fails, it is catastrophic. The paint's chemistry has failed to hold it on or the coat was no good, but either way it is a 'very' expensive fix. I have never heard of a fix that was successful either.... Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's - Gone to the rust pile...
