Keep a good coat of wax and it should do fine. Chips are gonna happen but a good detailer can fix them like new.

I also love how the base coat of the car is actually the same color as the final coat (chips and scratches don't show up that easily!) Wish more auto manufactors would do this!

What color is your car? I'm giessing black.

Mine has a black basecoat with a silver topcoat.

The paint is not single stage paint. There is a clear coat on these cars. Very few manufactures use single stage now a days.
