Default peeling clear coat

What are my options here for the clear coat. new paint job or what? any remedies. every time it rains it gets worse. when i first bought it less than a year ago it was about the size of a pea, now its huge.

Default I went cheap

i carefully used 1000 grit sand paper and just took off the clear that was actually flaking off. then i used some rattle can automotive clear coat from kragen and put a new coat on the entire roof. from 10 feet you cant see anything wrong with it and up close it doesnt look as bad as paint falling off the truck. also you need to wax the entire pickup regularly because its only a matter of time before the entire paint job starts falling off. my buddy has a 2002 green dakota and the paint is gone off of the entire cab
