Rust
If the paint comes off with your nail then it wasen't painted properly to begin with. If the dealer refuses to replace the racks or send them out to be painted first talk to the service manager then the owner. Document this then call Honda, make sure to get names. As far as rust goes ,a lite mix of trani fluid and gear oil srayed into all the frame holes top to bottom should slow the rust forming. Idid it on my older bike. Just remember to unplug the vent tubes from the frame before you spray so you don't plug them with the mix.
