Get it to a paint shop and it should be around £100 to clear it up unless your handy with a spray can. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

My 64 plate is the same, damn annoying on a motor that isn’t 5 years old yet.

I must be one of the lucky ones owned my dynamic from new MY14 and it came with a Santorni black grill from factory

My 2013 XS has done it too. Waiting for it to get a bit worse before I do something about it... See it so often on FL2s, but seems to be random models that are affected.

Would be an easy claim to make within the manufactures 3year warranty outwith that and even with extended warranty it’s tougher BUT not impossible. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s |

Mine's still under Landrover approved used 2 year warranty until this December and its going the same way. I thought about making a claim on it but read somewhere that paintwork defects are not covered by the warranty Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Read somewhere maybe on here that using a power wash causes the paint to come off |

It’s in for a service next week, I’ll have a word but I don’t hold out much hope, even a gesture to pay part of the cost would be welcome. 64 plate TD4 SE Santorini Black 2021 Mazda MX5 GT Sport Tech |

They both use the same solvent. You could try spraying with a can of top coat. Clean off any grease from fingers with lighter fuel & clean the entire surface with lighter fuel. Any grease of any description makes it far more likely for paint to come off. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Indeed it is annoying. But, on reflection, I think I'll probably wait until it affects more of the grill or I'm about to sell the car, before I do anything about it. Jules |

Not only Freelander grills pealing. Range Rover text on front & back of car. Seems to be a bigger issue.

Gosh that's bad - considering how much these RRs cost it is awful in fact. Jules |
