I've not had paint come off of mine but my handle is in a similar state. I did a search on it and it seems to be a fairly common problem.

Yep, I remember about 16 years ago I was working for a mate valeting cars. I jet washed a Polo and the whole side of red paint came off. I pooped myself!  Was poor quality paint so I was told at the time.

f**k aw man!! how much do you think it would be to get this sorted? would hole tailgate need doing?

[Thom89]

You could have a go with rattle cans, feather the edge   with 400w/d then a little bit of primer, paint then lacquer, probably cost you £30ish from Halfords... a Bodyshop would price it at around £280ish+vat
