There is some kind of residue on the surface that can be scraped down but the paint is gone underneath. Upon closer inspection, it does look like some kind of bore holes in the spots in question. There are some soft spots in the immediate area. Updated photo attached Thanks again all-

Sorry for non-garage topic, but could use the group’s help… My father in law passed away last year and I’m trying to help my mother in law with some home maintenance issues. Would like to get some opinions on what’s causing some marks/paint flaking on some interior paneling. Will try to post...

Thanks RJ...Looks like you have had quite the adventure..Thankfully I don't think my situation is as bad as yours was. Non-related side note: My wife is from Tabor City, NC...her family often talks about the impacts of Floyd...apparently its the reason they don't have pine trees in their yard...
