I found some paint peeling on my front bumper where it meets the front fenders. The peeling is nearly identical on both sides of the bumper too. I think the paint peeled because the front bumper is pressed right against the front fender creating friction or the dealer washed the car when the paint was too soft and/or used a high pressure wash. What do you think?

I`m looking for some tips on how to stop the peeling and clean up the paint. My thoughts were to remove the front bumper, use a fine grit sandpaper and smooth the peeling edge. Then apply some touch paint and put the bumper back on the car but allow a millimeter or two of space between the bumper and the fender to prevent rubbing.



Thoughts?
