Red S is peeling

While waxing my trunk today I noticed that the Red S is starting to peel. It is pretty subtle right now but if you look close it is pretty obvious. And I'm sure it will only get worse. By the way, I have only had my car for 2 months. Just curious, anyone else have this happen? Maybe I will just take off the entire 3.2CL and the Type S???

The red paint comes off with what product?.. did someone state in a previous post about rubbing alcohol removing the red?

Mine did the exact same thing.

I had it replaced under warranty.

Mine is peeling a little as well. Maybe the next time I'm in, I'll see if they can replace it...it shouldn't peel like that...not from the environment and washings.

I like the idea of taking off the red altogether. Can anyone confirm how to get it off? Acetone? Where would I pick that up?
Thanks
