Paint protection ideas/options
I recently noticed that I'm getting way too many rock chips in my paint from my tires. Mostly on the front doors where the small rocks kick up out of the tread and miss the side steps as well as the fender flares. I attached a pic that shows the area.
Any thoughts on how to cover or protect this area without it being an eye sore to look at? Most mudflaps are not meant to work with these flares (the ones I've seen) so maybe a piece of clear bra or maybe there is some vinyl wrap that can be color matched exactly to my doors?
I do not want the fix to be readily visible if at all possible. This truck only has 22k miles on it and at this rate will have no paint left in this area by the time I hit 30k. It seems that the clear coat and paint on these 2015's is pretty soft and scratches or chips very easily.
