Stripped to the metal, if you want it to last more than a year...sometimes putting a new layer of paint over paint that's delaminating will only speed up the deterioration as it tries to bond with the faulty layer and stresses it more, in turn breaking its bond with the primer coat...and no, you can't strip a clear coat off...you could wet sand it and feather it out well beyond the edges of the area that was affected, then recoat, and it'd look good for a while, but like rust and cancer, there's just no stopping it once it starts without getting rid of the original problem...the bad bond between layers.
