Back exhaust box 'peeling'?

Noticed that the black 'paint' on the rear exhaust box (that is horizontal under tailgate )is coming off
Is this normal ? Whilst don't think it will have any impact on operation of Vehicle - it doesn't 'look good'
Any one had similar? 2011 XS,Sumatra Black, GONE MARCH 2014- RR Evoque Prestige 5 door ,MY 2014,Loire Blue, Silver Roof, Panoramic roof.

Mine is doing the same, box in stainless steel so the paint is purely cosmetic.

It's one of those new apprentice first day jobs, the ones who query painting stainless go on to be managers, the others stay on the line Laughing

Same for me too. 6 months old and noticed a few days ago. I can live with it and over spray periodically, but it seems a bit naff?

The exhaust should be stainless steel, the paint on the box is pretty crap.
I forget the name of it but go online and look up heat resitant paint for log burning fires etc etc. The max temp will far exceed the temp of the tail pipe and will work well. Thumbs Up

Try an aerosol barbeque paint. Prices range from around £4 to £10. Some motorcycle restorers use it on the cylinders of aircooled bikes & report good results.
