Default Paint chips

Got back from my 2100 mile round trip to DisneyWorld and noticed a whole lot of chips in the front bumper paint. Nothing on the hood, fenders or grill area, just the bumper. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Default Shoulda' used blue tape...

this is why people get Clearbra...

Actually, I don't have any "paint chips" but I do have a few rock ding-chips.
Are you implying that there is a defect in the paint job...is it chipping beyond where the rock impact was?

Yes but I think a good waxing will atenuate the chips.
