Hard to tell the extent of the damage with the paint still on there. That being said, it doesn't look that bad to me.

Hopefully its not that bad, on the search right now for someone to do this job.
Appreciate your comment, anything I can use to prevent or at least try to temporary stop this, would be very helpful. Thanks for your input.

A temporary stop would be spraying wd-40 on it. A better one would be removing and repainting the remainder with a decent urethane or moisture cured urethane (see por-15).
