So I've got an alarming amount of stone chips all over my front bumper cover -- and only the front bumper cover (nothing on the hood or fenders). They're very obvious, as some sort of silver primer shows through underneath the gray. They have been gradually increasing in number (i.e. not the result of some one-time event).
My wife, however, doesn't have a single stone chip on her car.
We both have ~6k miles on our cars respectively. We both drive the same roads. I wash both cars weekly (sometimes multiple times a week). In other words, the conditions the cars have been subjected to are nearly identical, and the maintenance given to both is nearly identical.
Is it possible that her blue is a more robust and/or higher quality paint than my gray? Is is possible that my bumper cover was prepped in a defective manner? The bumper cover looks like it's from a car with 20k+ miles on it, not 6k.
Any thoughts?
