it seems like alot of guys with carbon pieces get em clearcoated very often. every other year it seems like.

If the problem is right after you had it done, take it back and see what they say. Worst they can say is no. Usually most shops want a good name on the work they do so it is worth a shot.

if you are unhappy with the work (within reason if they messed up), they need to redo it.

and you cannot clear coat on top of the wraps. it will mess it up.

Assumptions ftl.

Were the cracks present in the resin before the new clear?
