New Prop paint peeling off after first run

[randyc1441]

Took boat out for the first yesterday. I just put a new Michigan wheel XHS 4 blade prop on boat. After first use the paint on the face of the blade is peeling off pretty much right in center of each blade. Paint on perimeter or edge is fine. Possible paint issue or is this poor blade design causing the problem?

Ayuh,... Paint rarely stays on props for very long, in my experince...

If its that big of an issue, repaint it.
Of course you will need to do this after every use.

Pretty much the paint on the whole face of blade is coming off. My dad has had many boats with aluminum props and only have to touch up the edges;however I plan on contacting vendor to see what they say.
