found out our cheap ass paint can actually stand up to gravel. driving on a highway to work today a dumpster truck in front of me (about 8 car lengths) hit a bump and dumped gravel on the road. I went into the lane next to me thinking that would protect me but nope next thing i heard/saw was the gravel bouncing down the highway and then all over my hood, windshield, hitting the side mirrors and whatnot. I have two chips in my windshield now (insurance covers it at no cost to me so its all good) and NO paint chips at all. go figure, drive down a dirt road and get paint chips or paint chips from bugs but get hit by flying gravel and the paint holds up.
