I guess the cheapest option would be to sand it down and level and prime the paint to seal it against rust and then get the wrap on top. Or else do a normal full repaint.

From the US. What is wrong with Hyundai's painting process?

Another i20 in family suffering for the second time. First time it was on the hatch just under the windshield. This was painted by ASC at the owner’s cost. Now this is near the C pillar.

Recently spotted couple of elite i20s at accessory shop near the office and both had paint peeling issue (rear hatch below the glass). Both were white color!

Apparently this is also an issue in North America? (Hyundai, Kia and Genesis) A class action lawsuit has been filed in Canada.
