So I have noticed that paint doesnt hold up well to aluminium cowling doors being opened and shut against it. I figure with vibration the pressure from the camlock fasteners will cause to cowl doors to wear all the paint off the bottom cowl. I was thinking about putting on some chafe tape.

Does anyone have any thoughts on that, yay or nay? I can easily change the camlock recepticals to accomidate the extra thickness of some chafe tape. But then the doors wont sit as flush and I worry it might look a bit of a bodge-job....

Opinions welcome.
