    how many flakes?
    i recently stumbled upon mine having many flakes of defective paint coming from somewhere (i have not pinpointed it yet) ... but its still top notch the several or many dealer inspections have told me, nothing to worry about!

    before the recent flakes i recall only feeling some sand and dirt inside there with my big skinny finger :notsure:

    at first i thought this magnet would be good idea to remove defective peeling paint inside the frame but then i think it might just start sticking to the sides and top and bottom and not accomplish much
    or perhaps it might work?

    If it's just the paint peeling off, it's not a problem. But if it is rust, like this, and a lot of it, well, that's not good

    its not a problem now! but i can only imagine the rate gets worse without the proper paint cover protecting it!
    and the other FF method of course

    The frames rusted out.... way faster than it should have for a vehicle that’s lived in va it’s whole life. I’m not sure if it’s fixable... but I’ve chosen to repair it. Lol. I’ll be happy if I get 5-10 more years out of it.
