What to do?

If you wrap it go with something normal and nothing crazy if you aren't keeping the car. Make sure it will appeal to as many potential buyers as possible.

Wrapping it is a way to protect the paint from further degradation if you aren't going to fix the clear coat now. So if anything that's a positive for the seller. You can choose whether or not to disclose the condition of the paint underneath the wrap but many buyers won't even care.

I say keep it and fix the paint. Unless you want to wrap it with something unique.

What about wrapping with clear PPF? New 'clearcoat', get to keep the colour and original factory paint.

Sadly unless anyone can correct me, I don't think it's possible for a bodyshop to redo the clearcoat while keeping the factory base coat intact?
