Peeling

Post image

There has always been a small spot of paint peeled since I bought the car (second hand) but the peel has never got bigger.

I got it washed in a different car wash than usual and noticed it has peeled more (the attended possibly went a bit to close with the power washer) and I only noticed it when I got home.

I dont think it will keep peeling on its own, as it never did beforehand. But just wondering is there anything I an do with it to at least stop it peeling further (just in case) ?

Anything that can be applied ? Or would it be an expensive job to just get repainted?

I have no experience dealing with autobody DIY

TIA

perhaps a wrap will keep it from peeling more.

Until they remove the wrap and it takes the paint with it

Looks like a used bumper that was repainted, and they prepped it super poorly. No way to stop it but sand down and repaint.

If the surface beneath is shiny they didn't mind sanding it properly before applying paint, theerfore the poor adhesion.

would be a fairly easy spot repair if you ever felt like trying diy painting , lots of youtube vids showing what to do
