Once the clear coat fails there is nothing you can do except repaint, sorry.

if you want it to look good do not do it yourself. if you get it the same color it wont be as expensive. they can just re do the panel that needs it. and depending on the panel size will determine how much. where is it peeling? if it every where it could run you a minimum of 1500$ to 2000$. you might aswell pay 2500$ to 3000$ and get it any color you want.

Make sure you may need to repaint the entire car, due to fading issues. The paint code for your should be listed if your want the original color.

If it is just the clear coat that has come off then respray in clear coat.
It may not be as good as getting a professional to do it but you should be able to make it halfway presentable.
