My TM2 Cheetor has a bad case of Transmetal Dandruff, anybody has the same experience and/or advice?

so here it goes:
i recently received a lot of loose BW figs from eBay, and with it came one of my personal favorites - TM2 Cheetor. the figure's great; ugly-looking, but great. love the plastic and the joints.
but the problem is that since it came loose, i noticed there was severe chrome wear on it, especially on the shoulder area. the chrome looks cracked and since receiving it, a few more flakes have fallen off.
my question is: how many of you guys who own this have similar experiences like mine, and is there anything i can do to remedy this?
also, does the TM line suffer extensively from this defect? i have a TM2 Iguanus but the toy seems perfectly fine, no sign of chrome wear.
i guess i need to know this since some of the next wants i have are TM Optimus Primal, Optimal Optimus, TM Ramulus, and TM Megatron, all of whom have the same violet-colored chrome as TM2 Cheetor.
btw, this Cheetor is from the european release, his card says Bio Combat along with other languages i can't speak.
