Do you feel the amount of paint chips you have is normal for your driving conditions or do you think the paint chips too easily?
We have had the dealership install the Aeroskin 2 to protect the hood. Iām not sure whether it will do much to protect the top of the roof.

Iāve always had silver or lighter colors. I really donāt remember lighter color showing this much. Went wild with this red. I donāt regret it. I have touch up paint and will try to keep up with the chips. 99.9% paved road driving.
Just trying to warn others if itās a concern for them.

I have Ford SurfaceCare. Does anyone know if paint chips are covered with this?

Helpful information as my wife has one on order. It is the leading edge of the hood and the slanted roof surfaces mostly or the horizontal surfaces as well that are getting beat up?Any protection you can put on is highly recommended. Pictures tell the story. 33,000 miles. Roof and hood.
That is definitely where PPF does itās job. I have full front PPF on my Acura. It was pricey, but itās been worth every penny. I think thatās where you have to take into account the cost. Is it worth $2100 on a $34-40k car vs a $75k car? But holy cow that is a ton of chips. That is seriously worth considering PPF.

The hood is aluminum I believe. I think thatās part of the issue. My Acura had an aluminum hood and had smaller chips like that at 23k miles. Like it puts the metal since itās softer. Is a working theory lol. But the paints thin. Most paints give you a good amount to catch a finger nail when they chip, on these itās not as easy

We were talking about this at work and a guy had paint bubbling on his dodge ram after a year or so...dodge fixed it for him free of charge...I don't think we will get the same treatment

just a suggestion
installed new kitchen cabinetry couple years ago
applied painters tape to drawer faces before drilling holes for pulls
removed tape and painted finish came with it
showed result to retailer
fortunate was only one drawer face
retailer replaced no charge
question
would it be in your interest to try a small area
apply painters tape to an area affected by chipping
if paint specs come off on tape you have a case to present
poor adhesion should be covered IMO
