Default Paint chipping on rear l.c.a

What the heck? I went on my first run with Project-Jk into the Death Valley- Las Vegas area. I finally got around today after work to clean the jeep up and check things over and I noticed on my rear lower control arms the paint is chipped off on the axle side down to the bare metal. Is that normal? I guess that's what I get for blasting down desert road's at 50+mph. Should I contact the manufacturer?

What type of control arms? You can't have the finish of parts stand up to the abuse of wheelin'. They are there to look good when you take the parts out of the box. Start using them, and it becomes a COMPLETLEY different story.
