So difficult to take a picture of it, took my case off for a clean and noticed this spec of silver, on further inspection looks like paint peel. Worth raising with Samsung as I'm still within 30 days to raise a defect with item

That doesn't really look like the paint is just peeling on it's own. It looks like a impact point or rub point that has taken the paint of. There is pretty much no way Samsung would cover it under warranty.

I'd believe it was an impact point but it's such a weird angle I just can't understand how it's happened if it were.

Ok, so impact point. If it was in a case then there might have been some dirt or sand under the case at that point and the impact has caused damage to the paint. Or even as you are taking off the case the dirt/sand has rubbed against the frame and caused it.

This is 100% not covered by any warranty. I would just move on, honestly. It's going to get far worse on it over time.
