In the first month of me owning my cobalt I had a ton of rock chips in the hood, probly a dozen or more, so I took it back to the dealer and they gave me touchup paint but a couple months later i hit a deer so I got a new painted hood.
Also I have a chip in my front windshield from a NYS snow plow going to fast flinging salt all over and I got pelted by it. Good thing I got glass on my insurance. Good luck.

The day I picked up my car I drove my boy to the airport and was so happy to be on the interstate. I didnt evan know how close i was to this big ass dump truck. This rock fell out, hit my hood, scrached the paint all the way to bare mettal. Next hit the glass, and up to the roof.

i got stuck behind a dump truck full of sand one day on the high way. I could hear the front of my car getting sandblasted by all the **** blowing out of the top of the truck.

rock chips are bound to happen. Especially with daily drivers. Unless you trailer your car to shows expect to get chips. I have come yo just live with it. Judges know that it happens. I get white scratches that i usually buff out but if its something major or a lot of chips in one spot i have my painter fix it up for me.

Yea i got like 6 chips since that snow storm we had 3 weeks ago here in Tacoma, Seattle. area i got 1 on the windshield right on my driver side center. 1 in the fender and like 4 on the hood. I ended up getting an empty touch up paint bottle with a brush and a pen tip and i went to my class and asked the paint guys to mix me a color match and i am fixing it today. p.s. Im in Auto Collision and Refinishing at Clover Park Technical College.
