One cause could be a greasy surface that the paint won't stick to (mold release ?).

You can't just spray bumpers, they need a primer to make the paint stick.
Maybe it wasn't primed on the inside ?

How are those Continental Ecocontact 3 tyres doing ?

One thing my Volvo has going for it, is the way to change lightbulbs.
I can do both in 5 minutes
I think I may waxoyl the inside - OK its not going to be rust but it stops the paint flaking to spread to the outside. Yeah, I worry about how he looks...

I forgot you are a tyre geek They are pretty damn good if I'm honest - tons of grip dry or wet but I think I have them at too high PSI just now. Good coasts but the ride is rough, I think I'll back them down a bit.

I changed the sidelifghts (position) bulbs tonight - took me 10 mins, but 3 swears...
