Default Has anyone had their bumper paint lift off easy?

I could not believe it! I had a cardboard box graze the bumper and it took off all the paint. I am down to the black part of the bumper. Has anyone had this happen? It was a pretty hard bump, but I didn't expect this. Is the paint soft, or do you think it is a defect based on bad paint adhesion?

Thoughts?

If it just came of (i.e. no damage to bumper itself), then defect. dealer may replace it.

Going to give the dealer a shot. No scratches/ damage where the paint lifted off.

Default You mean like this...

Good luck!
