Yeah my covers have a few places where the paints coming off,but thats from being off the lights and getting skinned up from laying around.My covers stay off 99% of the time i've owned them.I use my lights all the time,day & night.

YES I HAD MINE A WEEK OR SO AND TOOK IT TO THE BEACH WITH THE COVERS ON. IT CHIPPED REALLY BAD. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TOUCH THEM UP I JUST TOOK THEM OFF AND TOOK PAINT THINNER AND TOOK OFF THE BLACK PAINT INSTEAD OF THE WORD BAJA. IT LOOKS GOOD AND WILL NOT CHIP AGAIN.
