B-pillar flaking!! HELP

I have a 2006 AM TL and I have noticed that my B pillars are flaking my driver side front pillars already half way down the pillar. I was wondering if and what you guys have done to solve this problem if any! Thanks!

3rd option for exterior, cover it up with vinyl.


since, we dont understand the terminology "flaking"....is the paint flaking? is the whole b pillar coming off?
we just dont understand!
you can replace or cover it with vinyl.

try the plastidip idea!

you'll need to do it on all the pillars to get a uniform look.
matte black and shiny black dont go well together.

^i'm assuming, the black B-pillars are not shiny and glossy any more.
fading and looking ugly...

which is a by-product of the sun.
Be sure to wash and wax your ride!!
