Could be clear coat peeling, but it is also possible that it had a clear vinyl front end mask applied at some time? Perhaps by a previous owner? The vinyl mask would be a thick film that is a noticeable "peel", whereas the clear coat is a thin coating that kind of rubs off as grit.

In either case the problem to to get the old stuff off so you can apply the new. Spraying new clear coat over peeling stuff is a waste of time - the stuff underneath continues to peel.

I think it's a vinyl mask because it's peeling like a sunburn. Do you know who sells this kind of product?

Sounds like you have Diamond Shield installed on your coach. You can Google the name and find out about it and find a dealer.

Good luck.
