Default rocker panel paint flaking

hay guys! i noticed when i had the car on ramps that the paint is starting to flake off where you place the jack to lift car and if you look at the seam and go along the hole rocker panel you will see other spots is this normal? should i repaint or is it just going to come off again?

I would say so, that area endures the most road contact. Mine are beat up as well underneath. One thing you can do to stop it is to apply some xpel or 3m protective film over the rockers.
