Im assuming there is a clear coat on my black chrome FR500s and it looks like its peeling in one spot. Maybe a rock hit it and started the process but its starting to spread. Any ideas on how to stop it? I was thinking of masking it off and spraying it with some clear but I'm sure it wont look that great. I guess it would be better than it peeling more though.

I emailed the place I got them from to see what kind of warranty they have since Ive only had them 6 months or so. I read on some other sites that people said use a clear coat over them but Ill wait to see what the place I got them from says first.

It's hard to say if it would look good,but it would give better protection from spreading more if you masked,and re cleared that spot.
When i had my stock Bullitt rims,i scrapped a curb very lightly with one rim,but enough to scratch the rim edge pretty good,what i did was sanded it down,masked the area off,and re cleared the spot with rattle can clear coat.But it was on the a none painted area,so it was hard to tell.

So I tried contacting them via email to 2 different addresses with no response. Then I tried calling and was on hold with a message saying "you are caller number 3 with a hold time of 2 minutes" for about 10 minutes. Then it said the person at this number is not available and if I wanted to leave a message. Something tells me they don't want to hear about problems.

That really sucks man. If you don't get any love from them I think I would take it to a paint shop if it's in a area that's easy to see.

I might just try the clear coat thing and see if it stops it from spreading.
