Carbon frame peeling

No idea how this happened as the bike has been attached to the turbo for some time, but it's obviously taken a whack and some sort of protective layer has come away. Is this anything to be concerned about and how would I go about getting it sorted (if it's worth it)?

    Looks like the clearcoat is peeling .

    It's a chip. If it irritates you, nail varnish, some wet and dry, rubbing compound and finally polish.

    I've just done half a dozen of these on a carbon boat, and best results came from sanding the edges first, then varnish, then work on levelling it.

    Or don't bother.

    Cheers. I'll take the second option...

    Was going to say I wish my bikes' paintwork looked as good as that...
