Door frame paint

Anyone else having issues with the paint on the inside door frame?

Mine looks to be peeling or scrapping off almost as if the door is scrapping on it.

I wish it was. Running my finger over it I can feel where the paint dips down into the scratch.

did your dealer repair/repaint your inside door frame prior to delivery? looks like fresh paint chipping due to shoe contact.

Oh! Damn, I did not notice that huge white line.

I don't think it'd be as simple as shoe rub, as the rubber of my shoes do all the time (as much as I try to avoid it and hate feeling that) and no issues.

Apply a thin layer of color polish/wax on the scrape, close the door and open it back up then look for the polish/wax on the door to see where it's making contact.

Ouch... If it doesn't come off, take it to the dealer.

*Goes and checks door frame*
