I think it may be hit or miss on a new kit. Nitroplanes flat out told me that if I purchased another canopy they could not guarantee that the paint wouldn't fall off that one too. Scuffing the remaining paint will only create more of a mess, I need to strip it clean. I may end up using a Scotch pad to get it all off and just paint the whole thing. Again, I do realize this is a cheaply priced ARF but the list of problems that need to be corrected is growing and Customer Service from Nitroplanes is about the worst I've come across.
