Hi Metro,

That's strange that the paint is flaking off.

What type of paint did you use? Automotive I hope.

I would think if the cardboard were sealed from the elements properly that a good grade automotive paint would stick.

Of course, if the cardboard surface is not stiff enough and flexes, then that would allow the paint to eventually peel off as well.

Jim.
