My business is plating, including nickel plating. When electrodeposited
nickel does not adhere to the substrate it is indicative of inadequate
cleaning and activation of the substrate. DO NOT install any parts that
have the plated metal peeling because the problem will only get worse as
more material peels.

loose plating might give you trouble with tailplane removal, the fit in
the tailplane bushes is quite tight.
Get it replaced or replated, that should not happen
