Paint Chipping easily

I have a 2005 Red Cobalt SS/SC and the paint chips much easier than i think it should, has anyone else noticed this on their cobalts? I have had mitsu. all my life now i got a chevy and the paint quality is much worse

the paint chips are from rocks im assuming but i never had this problem with my old cars

Dont sweat it. Get some touch up paint that matches the same color and fix up any knicks. Also ( this is what Im going to be doing ), inquire about protective coatings you can get for the car. Theres one out there that adds to the glossiness of the car, makes it look like it was just waxed evertime its cleaned, and provides durable protection for the paint.
