I bought one from fairings-etc and it is very nicely made. However, after a short while I noticed that the tight fit around the gear leg fairing and the up/down motion of the leg fairing caused the paint to wear away where the two fiberglas parts touch. The damage is visible below the intersection fairing. Since the airplane is going in for a complete professional paint job very soon, I need to figure out how keep this from happening. I've only had the intersection fairing installed for 6 months and this is a noticeable issue that I don't want to recur with the new paint if I can possibly help it. Who else has used this fairing? Did you experience this and if so were you able to make it stop chaffing? I sanded and smoothed the inside of the intersection faring when I originally installed it to help prevent this but that obviously didn't do the trick. Thanks.
