Squawk to the factory for a replacement. The powder coating should not be
coming off but what does not come off by itself will probably be rather
difficult for you to remove. Then you need to re-coat the thing. It's not
worth your time and money to fix it.
Eventually you will reach a point in the construction where you plug the
inside of the open ends with high temperature silicone sealant.

Subject: Europa-List: Undercarriage mounting frame
<rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
My undercarriage mounting frame for mono wheel is painted white. The surface
was
not prepared and the paint is not tuck very well.
What is the best way to clean off old paint, stripper sandblaster?
I do have a free air sandblaster, can beach sand be used?
Also is it a good idea to coat the inner of the open tubes with something
like
LPS Procyon ? (May not have correct spelling)
Thanks
