Default Sunroof **** peeling

Just noticed the paint on the sunroof **** is bubbling and peeling. I guess I can repaint it. Has anyone else had this issue ? I wonder if its just easier to order a new **** ?

Mine has almost completely stripped all of it's paint. I'm thinking of pulling it apart, leaving the **** clear, and putting a red LED behind it....

I had the same issue. The rest of the paint i scrubbed off with brake cleaner. Sprayed it with paint meant for plastic with good results.
