If its only the clearcoat peeling, then it means you had bad paint. you need to at least take it to primer then go through the paint process again.

It would be helpful to nw what year your car is. If it is a facelift model and hasn't been painted again, it has nano clear coat and should be under warranty against corrosion and peeling. I believe its like 10 years or something like that. someone can chime in and correct me if i'm wrong.
