the paint is peeling because of improper application and will continue to peel the only proper way to fix it is to take it off and prep and apply correctly

it's not a matter of putting something over it. The surface under the paint is the problem.

Take all the paint off and put it in some spray bomb primer.

thats too much work!. Leave the old stuff and spray bomb over that!!! Some el cheapo clear will slow down the paint flaking off, but wont stop it. It will be more paint you have to strip later.

Cork... I meant just take it all off... go primer all the way around. Or you could just let it flake it you get a real paint job.
