You are going to have to re-shoot the hood...no way to sand off the clear while leaving the basecoat and as w/doing away w/runs or whatnot, common principle is 'if you didn't shoot it initially fixing an unknown from an unknown painter most likely will not work'. Many reasons why the clear lifted...fiberglass is a different material, more heat intolerant and should be prep w/certain primers (common issue on hood of vettes if not done correctly). ..materials used...paint not taken care of (not waxed, etc)...that is why a lot of high areas always have this issue (esp in chrysler black back in the 90's)...high areas w/the most exposure to the sun always have this issue...hood/roof/top of quarters/fenders/windshield surrounds, fiberglass spoilers etc....couple that w/the hood getting heated from both angles, top and bottom is a reason to see why this would occur. I know most if not all fiberglass hoods do not use an underhood pad, but using this buffer could help after its painted again (dynomatt, etc).
