^^ Like I said, I didn't do it, so I don't know what caused the rubber to peel, but the rubber was very degraded when I got it. You're probably right though---it seems that the area with the most hand contact were the most degraded (rubber peels / sands off easily)
The 2000 grit paper was used to smooth out the plastic surface. I noticed that areas that were not smoothed with the finer 2000 grit would reveal small scratches showing the rougher sanded areas. Your mileage may vary. I'm just an amateur!
As with the paint coming off---we'll see. I figure repainting is cheaper than buying the pieces for $160+, even if the rubber does help prevent your hands from slipping.
