Default Flaked the paint off the oil door?

Climbing out of KBLM today in our club's Piper Dakota (235hp O-540) in
pure milky white rain and cloud and I saw a white flake hit the
windshield. Later on after I climbed up a bit I noticed that all the
paint on the oil filler door is flaking off. I was still in the climb so
I hadn't leaned it, but the EGTs were probably around 1200. So did I
overheat the engine? Was it on the ground, or in the climb?

Can't get out of 'vi'? Common problem. Don't worry, I'm here to help. Just
log in as root and type "init 0". It works for pretty much any problem you
might have with Linux. No, no, no. Thank /you/. -- Mikey Raeder
