You can get ok results going over bad paint but it is a lot harder than going over decent paint. You can't move the vinyl around after it has touched the car like you can if it had decent paint. You can still imperfections through the vinyl, but the carbon fiber hides it a lot better than chrome.

The shape of a SW20 would be easier than something like a HQ.

Just clean the paint with metho and make it perfectly clean. You will be fine.

Is the clear coat peeling?

Any imperfection/unlevel area in the surface will be seen through the wrap, so a good even surface to begin with is a must.

Just sand of with 240 grit if the you are concerned just where it changes, say there no clear coat at all on that spot. Use a good quality carbon fiber wrap as it does not show defect as much. Not ebay Chinese crap.

You could certainly put wrap on they're but two things could happen, either dramas sticking in the first place or dramas trying to remove it later.

Hi i have an SW20 with sun damaged paint on the bonnet, pop up headlights and on the frontal part of the Targa top roof (just above the windshield). my question is would i be ok to just wrap the bonnet and headlights? and just focus on re-clear coating the roof part or should i definitely make sure all is fixed before wrapping? as i wish i to put carbon fibre looking wrapping the the bonnet+headlights anyway. thanks guys!
