Paint Flaking off the inside of the wheel eyebrows /arches
Just noticed that the paint on the inside of my wheel arches/eyebrows is flaking off. Is this common. Just seems to be an inside problem not on the outside. Is the surface not prepped on the inside?

previous post on this.it's normal there isn't any primer for the paint to key as such under the arch unlike on the outside. 2.4 90 XS

Also the same on my landy.

Toying with the idea of getting spray-on rubber and coating the wheel arch. This will help to lessen the noise when driving on gravel roads.

Got my 90 on Friday, and the first wash removed some of the paint....!!!!

Has anyone said anything to the dealers about this etc, and got anywhere....?

Or is it best to just power was the rest off, and leave it black....

Cheers
