Rock chip protection ?

[tewest86]

I've had my XLT sport for about 4 weeks now. Traded in a 2020 GMC Elevation for it. I love my sport. However, having body colored everything is a pain when trying to avoid rock chips on the front. Took my first trip and I already have a rock chip on the lower front fender. What are you guys doing to protect paint from chips? I checked on a clear bra but they want $1800 for that. I'm order a chip repair kit.

My truck color is Lead Foot.

Options vary based on how much you would like to spend.

Cheapest would be just get a paint pen and touch them up as needed since rock chips are inevitable.

A step up from there would be getting a PPF (3M, XPEL, etc.) applied to your front end, or at least the susceptible areas.

Another option would be having a body-liner sprayed on. The shop Alberta Boys Custom up here in Alberta (https://albertaboyscustom.com) has a smooth, high gloss color matched option that looks exactly like paint. I'm sure there are shops in your area that offer similar services.

This works like a champ to repair the chips.
