Best thing is to get you an air compressor & a DA sander & some 180/220/320 sand paper for the DA & go to town stripping off all the crap paint. You *should* see the current paint come off, then the primer, then the original paint, then the original primer: start in one are over a soft bend & sand back & forth & see what you get. If your car was not fully stripped at it's prior paint job (more than likely not if it's failing so fast), then you should be able to take the sanding down into the original paint & be safe at that. If you sand down too far & see bare steel/aluminum, you'll want to acid-etch primer those areas before painting.
You can paint over scuffed paint or primer original to the 928: it was applied correctly. If your car has had minor/major work, usually it's confined to certain areas (brown fender orginally, painted white, for example). I did my euro 928 about 7 years ago: fun, tedious.

Completely agree, 100%... ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here are some pics of exactly that process, and what you are gonna see as you strip through all the old coats/primer, etc. Very time consuming, but the only way to fly while painting your 928, for sure.
