I had the same problem on my GTR. It was only the size of your finger nail but it shouldn't have happened and the dealer changed the can under warranty.

Same problem with mine on front and back exhaust trim.
Getting them back from the powder coater tomorrow.
Had them sprayed the same colour as the wheel which is being powder coated too - silver would you believe.
It is obviously more common than we might have thought.

I'm not going to look at mine.  If I don't see it, it isn't happening.

Yep, if mine was out of warranty I'd have just rubbed it back and sprayed it with black satin engine paint. Job done. :smiley:

I tried spraying them black at first but it just didn't look right.

O.C.

Could be, but I refuse to wash it.

Think yourself lucky you don't have a BMW with flaky engine casings

However if that were to happen with a BMW engine casing and it never did with mine, BMW change the bloody engine, now that's what you call BMW aftercare.
