It seems like no matter what I do I get tons of rock chips on my front bumper. I never follow dump trucks, pickup trucks or anything that throws off crap. I'll stop if I have to in the middle of the road to get away from them. I think dump trucks should be required to be covered better. One time a rock the size of a quarter hit my windshield and just stuck there luckily it didn't break it. I'm going to touch up my front bumper and a few other spots, but where I just live must be an asteroid zone or something. Any tips on avoiding chips?

I heard that there is a clear. plastic film that you can put over your front bumper. I think most cars that enter shows use 'em when driving on the highways, unless they have a trailer. If I find more info I'll let you know.

I think its a matter of putting plenty of flex additive in the paint and extra layers of clear coat. my paint job is chipping pretty bad too, really wish I had invested in a bra or put some plastic wrap on the front for long trips

Just get 3M tape! thats what the guys on the Supra caravan to Las Vegas put all over the front of their car and side mirrors! works really well! u can get it in clear! obviously u cant use this all the time but any time u might be driving a few hours its a great idea!

Yea, i went to three shops that were 3m suppliers of the clear stuff, none of them did custom and they were only for 2000+ celi's. I think they have lazer cut prefit pieces.
