Hey guys, wondering if anyone has any brilliant methods for preventing rock chips on the fender lips?
Just getting my rear quarters repainted now due to some rather large rock chips.
Thanks

You can try some clear protective film like they use for bras, or headlight covers. I've also heard some good things about 3M Paint Defender spray, you can give that a look.

Roger that. Really the only thing I've found that works is some kind of clear bra or clear vinyl. Though I would let the paint fully cure with multiple hot days before applying such a vinyl. I opted for a small strip of 3m clear bra on my M4 and it's only about 2 years old but is already showing some yellowing. They claim they won't ever yellow, but in reality they always do.
