Anyone else experience paint peeling?

Edit - it was in fact plastic, not sure how it suddenly just appeared. Please disregard this post and carry on please....

That looks like tape or something over the paint. Not the paint itself.

Yea, it looks like the white plastic they ship the cars in to the dealers.

If your paint is peeling, the first thing you'd see is the clear coat coming off or bubbling.

Like others have said, it seems like it's the white protective sheet that may have been missed.

I think it's an optical illusion and the paint probably really is peeling.
