Should paint be chipping/splitting here???

I noticed this yesterday when I had to put my gutter guard back in (car wash blew it out) Paint is splitting on the edge of the flexible foldy thingys...concern ot not? Looks to be slightly on the plastic lip also..can't see it but my concern is if it peels in a sheet down to the front bumper

Mine is split/cracked like that as well Goose, but I have a dark blue so it doesn't show as much. Had to use my fingernail to verify if it was scratched or cracked.

Looks a bit like a rub to me. Maybe the grill touches and the hood needs a little adjustment.

The paint on the edges is very thin like that, especially on sharp edges. Since there's no metal to rust there, it is unlikely that the paint will become contaminated and peel off in sheets.
