What appears to be thick lacquer has started to peel on my fuel cap, I've not noticed it before on my previous coop and have had this one for many years. Is this standard or after mart?
Presumably I'm going to have to strip it and reapply.

Hello Respace

Yes this is very common, and it probably is an original cap.

Unless someone knows better, you will need to get it stripped and re-chromed.

Mine is losing its lacquer, albeit very slowly.
