    Chip resistant paint?

    After the guard chop I had to remove the front plastic protection under the wheel arches.

    I'm planning on mocking up some custom guards but I'll need to paint some exposed areas that are chipping away from stones.

    What is the best paint to use to avoid chipping of stones and can you get it in a spray can?

    Stone guard paint. It's thick and takes the impact from stones better and can be painted over also

    Was going to ask what do yas do when chopped.
    How are your door hinges handling the dirt??

    It's been ok, just got to keep it clean after a trip, no problems so far but would like make up a custom guard for it one day.
