I had a similar issue with a silver side mirror. I bought a replacement from a forum member. I kept the old one to sand down and clear coat. I just never did it.

That's clear coat peeling off.

Only 2 options:

1. gently sand (gently = don't break through the silver) and re-clear, OR,

2. sand it down completely, and spray new base coat/clear coat

If you try to wrap with vinyl, you'll likely see the creases from the peeling clear, unless you scuff them down enough.
