Paint Flaking off Underneath Arch Extension!?

Is it normal for the Paint to Flake off in big pieces underneath the Plastic Arch Extensions

I only washed it with a Hose on low pressure?

My worry is that it will all come off the underneath & then start to peel over the lip to the Exterior part of the Arch Extension

And I'll then end up with Black Arch Extensions

Welcome to Defender ownership, have you checked your gulleys for any other parts that may have dropped off apart from paint flakes?

Yes, I was told (by this forum!) that it's totally normal. Happened to ours (still is), & I too was worried that it would spread to visible areas.

And to confirm mine is also peeling

concerned at first but as advised it is only within the arch and has not spread further

I'd hazard a guess that the insides are not primed at paint, but given a quick base coat spray over.
Could also be overspray too.

What if Dinitrol stone chip stuff is sprayed up into the arches?

You can do that, that's what I did before applying Dinitrol.
But I made sure it was absolutely perfectly clean and as dry as you could possibly get it in mid summer first.
It does indeed calm down any flying stones in the tyre tread.
