Why are there several overlapping coats of paint that are peeling off? I thought this was the new and flashy Boeing plane? The airline was Scoot.

    Absolutely on the delamination. Paint on metal can go for a minute and be okay as long as there’s primer still protecting the metal; but on composite the flaking will just lead to more flaking. Plus, the water intrusion damage and wicking you can get with carbon fiber. Gotta check that stuff often.
