Default Skirt paint missing?

So i came out to my car and say that on the skirt just behind the wheel there is like a chunk of paint missing. No Scratches around it, nothing. The person that had the car before me had the skirts painted and they werent primed. Some of the paint is peeling like on the skirt in the door jam. I think that either from the subwoofers of road debris that the paint just came off. I felt like i had to tell somebody cuz the rest of my day is just ruined.

Garrett-Sorry for the bad luck man. I would just strip the sideskirts and have them primed and repainted. It will only get worse.

If you do end up having to do a full repaint, would you share with us your experience, especially how much reimbursement was? I'm sorry for your misfortune. I too am looking at some body work and paint repair. Some kids did some damage to my car which involved a scratch in the door and a nice dent in the rear bumper. Front bumper I ****ed up myself, but suffice it to say, my car's body is in shambles and needs a few repairs and a paint job. THat, or replacements for each part that are requiring repair/paint. Definitely going to replace the bumpers, but the doors are an open "door", pardon the phrase, since, I can see doors being expensive and not neccessarily being more cost effective than a repaint.
