Default Can it be saved?

Is there any way you guys know of fixing peeling on carbon fiber like this or is it trashed?

I'd like to keep this one the trunk already has plugs from the previous spoiler and would rather not drill more holes.

Not that I actually know if this is true or not... but I'd imagine sanding off all of the existing clear coat and spraying new clear onto it would work eh?

yup wet sand and apply clear coat thick so it gives the wet look when dried. Any shop should be able to do it for 100 bucks as its just a spoiler.

Be aware, if you do the sanding, WEAR A MASK. A real mask, as in one with filters on it.

You will end up creating some carbon fiber dust, and you DO NOT want that stuff in your lungs.

But otherwise this isn't an especially difficult job as far as painting stuff goes as others have said.

I'd check with a body shop too - it may be cheap enough to let a professional do it properly so it looks good.
I personally would not brush clear coat on - it may not look good. Spray on.
