Pain Flaking on Engine Cover

Anyone have this happening on their mote? the red stripes that go across the ridges are flaking and blowing back onto the firewall. Not a big deal, just an eye sore. My real question is, has anyone touched this up and what color of red would you recommend?

Take it to the dealer, have them look at it
Maybe they will repiar it under warranty

i dunno if they'd warranty that or not, its worth a try, mine has the same thing happening

Miss read the message
Nope I dont think they will cover it under warranty

i think i'ma gonna go out and see them on mine, its worth a try :)

wiz kidd - let me know what your dealer says. I think its a long shot, but it might just take the right people there. I suppose it should be warranted, but most of the dealers where I got mine look at me like, "you've GOT to be kidding." I'm pretty picky, so I've brougt them lots of "dumb" little jobs to take care fo for me.

the thing is if your goign to touch it up your better off doign it right so it wont come off agian/
 
Use a paint ad heastion prompoter for plastic and then paint on top of it this will allow the paint to bite in to the plastic on there with out it comming off easily

if they dont cover it, i think i'm going to take it off and do it gloss black, with orange stripes(the way they are now, but they're peeling) and then silver for the supercharged name, but the gloss black would look good i think, but this is only if they dont feel like covering it, i asked yesterday, they took pics and they're going to call me back

Just curious if you had an update on the warranty claim or you repainting it yourself.

FWIW - I just took my monte in and this week they will be replacing the following under warranty:
Engine Cover (paint flaking)
Radio Controls on Sterring Wheel (words flaking off)
Wheel Center Cap ("clear coat" gone bad - looks like paper mush that got wet then dried)

They already replaced:
Horns b/c they had water in them
Brake pads and resurfaced rotors b/c they were corroded and pulsating
Fuse in front power outlet
Both tailights b/c of condensation in them (7k miles ago)

They would not reaplce:
Rear ground effect b/c of two-to-three matching asterik (*) shaped cracks in the paint (they said they were from an impact).

Just thought I would update anyone else thinking about any of this.

can you do mea  favor, when you get your warranty sheet that says they cover it, can you possibly email it or if you have a fax machine fax it to me?  my dealer says they dont warranty any paint under the hood, and they would have to see it in writing that they cover it in the states...

The silver started flaking off of the "3800 series II" and the "Supercharged" on my engine cover.  But this was a result of the dealership's powerwasher, when they decided to clean the engine after 3 years of sitting on the lot outside.  They told me since it was a pre-existing condition when I bought the car, I would have to purchase a new one out of pocket.
I didn't bother asking how much.  I figure since there's no special Dale Earnhardt Jr. markings on it, there's no hurry for it since it's a cosmetic feature that nobody will see.  If I was to enter a show of some kind, I'd worry about it then.
 
I would be interested in knowing if anyone found an exact color match to either the silver or the orange.  Getting an exact match in high temp engine paint would be great.  But if it gets bad enough, I'd be willing to try going to a local auto paint wholesaler who supplies paints and dyes to collision repair shops.

Sorry it took so long... I'd be happy to send it to you! I'l have to remember sometime this weekend as I'm out of town right now. PM me your email address/fax number and maybe that'll spring a reminder for me.
