Welcome to Defender ownership, have you checked your gulleys for any other parts that may have dropped off apart from paint flakes? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

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. |

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. |
