AWFUL!!! 17000 miles and it looks pretty beat up. I have Hot Red Pepper color and it had so many chips. I counted around 22 noticeable chips. I still love the truck, but wish I would have wrapped it. It'll need paint before winter.

GREAT! Cactus gray, 9200 miles, picked up 12/23. I do put a coat of wax, just cheap turtle wax on the first few inches of the hood and the bumper a couple times a month, to make cleaning bugs and shit easy.

I am 3500 miles in, about 3K of those all highway and I have no scratches, dings, etc.....Going to go with the paint guys recommendation, realizing this isn't a $100K truck (thank you) and hope for the best! Not spending $500 or more to protect the hood.

Those not looking to spend $$ on a ceramic coating might want to look into a graphene coating which is a hell of a lot easier to apply

Tailgate and you will hit things thrown up by the semi-truck or dump truck in front of you. It's inevitable. Not sure why certain people blame the paint. It's the rock, not the paint.
