Ok so the clear coat is soft but I don't think there are any paints that will not chip when rocks traveling 100 MPH hit them.... my paint chips in the front bumper go clear through the paint and chip off a chunk of the plastic as well. No paint is gonna survive that abuse soft or hard. Possibly some sort of epoxy paint but nothing we typically use on automobiles...

I'm debating the clear bra - for the cost of it is getting close to what a re-spray would be or more. And how well does it protect your paint. It will help for sure but will it prevent every possible chip? If its not protecting from everything you're gonna have to take it off AND repair the chips.... then re-apply?
