"Paint not allowed to go back farther than the lamination point! "

Is this a Robinson dictat?

Is that true for the 44 as well as the 22?

What is the remedy if it does? - new blades?

How 'bout the tail rotor, they start to lose paint pretty quickly on the leading edge/tip surface, how much is tolerable here?

Seems to me that flying in precip really accelerates paint loss (and therefore blade wear?) - in the UK this in inevitable - what kind of hours' usage are people getting before they need new blades? Is anyone getting the 2200 hrs? - I doubt it.
