Brad, there seems to be alot of grit and small rocks on the roads in the Atlanta area lately.
But I really think that it's the color. I think that red is a much tougher, more durable choice.
My two year old car only has three or four chips on it.

I really don't think that there is a difference in the durability with the different paints. I was just being obnoxious. My S, while 2 years old, leads a fairly charmed live. It is not a daily driver.

If you do use this, or any other touch up, be sure to prep the area properly and take your time.

The line on the hood isn't that noticable, I had to take several pictures of Keith's to get the line to show up. I think its not so much the paint, but just the crappy roads we have here in town.

This observation goes way back.. most that drive in highway traffic have them. My two year old '00 is an absolute mess in the front. I don't think I have much of a choice but to grin and bear it.. (I am not a bra fan and it is too late for the clear treatment).

My silverstone is in pretty good shape considering all the highway miles I've put on it. I clayed it and applied a polymer sealant as soon as got it home. I think this really helped prevent a lot of chipping.
