Proper 2 part clear should be fairly resistant to chipping. I can't remember, was your paint job a body shop job, or a "buddy's garage" type deal? Clear coat is most susceptible to damage in the first couple of weeks. It takes a good week or so to fully cure. Ideally, the shop would hold on to your car for that period of time, but of course that's not economically feasible, not to mention the fact that body shop lots would be full of cars waiting to fully cure which would be a major inconvenience for them.
As far as the tails go, you'll probably have to sand them down and start from scratch. There's no really good way to cut through the tint evenly, so you're far better off just starting at zero. Start with some 220 grit to cut through the paint, then work your way up to a 300, and then finally a 400 or so before re-painting. Are they nightshaded, or something else?
