Peeling bumper clear coat

[Simon Body <body@domain.elided>]

Greetings

After the fender re-alignment on my 91 Spider by a non-Alfa driver, I 
started looking at getting the whole car painted. Prices quoted were about 
$3500, something I cannot afford to invest. The local Maaco has better than 
average recommendations by a couple of local Alfa people and the guy seemed 
knowledgeable except for one point. He wanted to paint over the clear coat 
on the bumpers which has small areas of peel. The paint underneath is 
adhering well.
I thinking of taking off the bumpers and stripping the clear coat off 
myself, then getting him to do the rest. Should I? What should I strip it with?
Advice welcome.
Thank you
