For the last year, there has been a little spot right next to my drivers side door that had a bubble of clearcoat popping up. Just kinda forgot about it and now it's grown. The little bubble popped and just expanded and about an inch of clear coat has come off. Now, when I get some more hours in at work, i'm considering getting it fixed but not sure what kinda price I would be looking at since it's only the clearcoat. What should I be looking at roughly to pay to get it fixed? I'll post pics soon.

They'll have to blend the whole rear 1/4 panel, and the door.
To fix it they'll have to sand down into the paint on a large portion of the area its in, then re-spray, then re-clear.
Youre looking at $700-$900 to get it done RIGHT at a GOOD bodyshop, labor isnt cheap.

That is what is happening to my roof. I feel so bad every time I get in my car.
Yes but its gonna be awhile, I want a good paint job you know.
Me being a painter, PhntmSk8r
is right! $700-$900! Labor realy
isn't cheap! Probably, 50% of what
body shops charge, is a labor fee!
A car hit me on my fender and I went to go get
an estimate, $900! But since I did it myself, I only
spent $300! $600 in the wallet! Hehe!

keep in mind for future reference: washer fluid eats away at the clearcoat. so be careful not too overspray when cleaning your windshield.
Straight ammonia might run the risk of ruining paint, but I've never seen clearcoat damage from washer fluid (which often has ammonia in it, but watered down). I'm sure it could happen with prolonged and repeated use though (without caring for your paint properly).Jersey8 said:
If you're afraid of that though, just get the ammonia-free washer fluid instead.
Here's one:
