Default chipping paint

so i just had my fenders rolled but smirfs2k05, he's done a LOT of fender rolling and it was obvious he knew what he was doing.

anyway paint seems to be peeling on a 1in long area at the fold, on the rear quarter.

is there anyway i can keep it from peeling like crazy? i was thinking i could sand it down slightly and brush on some touch up paint.

Sucks, but extremely common with rolled fenders...

yup, once the paint cracks its a repaint-
a good shop will be able to match the paint.

why not just sand down underneath to stop the cracking and use toucu up paint, its only underneath, kind of hard to see it
