Paint covered?

I have rock chips all over my front bumper and all the way up my hood to the windshield. I treat my car very well and never drive behind trucks or anything like that. It has to be a paint defect. I mean I understand a few hear and there. I started to count them, was up to 100 and started to feel ill. This has to be covered somehow.

I doubt if you will get any warranty coverage for chipping paint. They will probably tell you that it's from where you drive regardless of what you tell them.

It's not a defect, its just what's known as "4th gen build quality"
