Not sure about peeling, but I've seen red fade pretty quickly.

Mine has chips all over also. The paint is slightly faded on the plastic part where the license plate goes.

The paint is so bad its frustrating to take care of, if its faded all you can do is clean it up and detail it. I have got alittle richness of the paint to come back out but not a whole lot. Best thing to do is to repaint if you have the time and money.
