I also noticed that there is this painted strip on the inside of the "lip" of the wheel well (it's the inner most protrusion in the picture). It has some flex to it and may be rubber padding of some sort.
Does anyone know how it can be removed/how it's attached? If so, I may ask the body shop to remove that first before clearcoating (if they agree to redo the clearcoat on the whole panel) to get a really clean cut of where the clearcoat ends. I am guessing since it's rubber and flexes, it would be a terrible idea to have actually clearcoat reaching onto it.
Thanks!

TheRealBFKR, I'm ah feared that you are waaaay over analyzing this situation -
I'd suggest you just leave it alone.
When you get out here to the PNW, ain't nobody gonna notice and if you should bring it up - someone is gonna have you committed to Western State (look it up).
Now, you can get on with your life -
