very normal for the paint to peel on handles and mirrors... bad design just
like the fenders.. you would think after 8 years they would realize their
poor craftmanship but all in all I love them!!

Yea, I love them too. I get more scratches from tree branches to worry
about paint peeling. However, when I looked at my door handle, there was
paint over paint. Therefore - peeling. That's not a bad design, that's
poor paint prep. So when it happened on the passengers side, I took all the
paint off and re-painted it. It won't peel anymore.

The paint on both side mirrors and the hardtop hinges for my 2000 TJ
and my sons 1998 TJ came of in chunks, no wear or tear involved. I
think it's an issue with the paint over aluminum or the fact that the
parts were painted & manufactured in Brazil. Either way I
dis-assembled the mirrors, took them down to bare metal with a wire
brush wheel on my grinder. Used a black spray primer and a black matte
spray paint to re-do them and they turned out great. I did the same to
hinges on hardtop using wire brush wheel and drill. So far they are
holding up perfectly. Hope this helps.
