Bruce,
I used a single-edged razor blade to carefully slip under a cracked edge
and lift the old clear coat off. YMMV. After I removed the old clear coat,
I lightly sanded it with a very fine grit. Other folks on this list have
said the veneer is very thin, so don't overdo sanding.
After sanding I wiped a mix of mahogany/walnut Minwax oil-based stain on
the veneer. I added very little color to it. If you're going for a
concours-quality car, staining may or may not be the best thing to do.
I used Envirotex Lite for the new finish. Several folks on this list
recommend it, and it worked very well. It's a heavy epoxy that self levels=

1?ie=3DUTF8&psc=3D1
It takes 2 or 3 days to fully cure, so finding a dust-free environment is
important. After it cures, it's dried to a high gloss and smooth finish.
You won't need to sand it.
This is the best instructions I found for mixing it:

little fastidious, but if you get an incomplete mix, the results will be a
mess. There are lots of videos about applying the epoxy, too.
Good luck!
