Default paint chips

I have noticed that behind my two front wheels that the paint is missing.. i realize this is most likely to stone or sand kicking up but have not seen this on any other audis... feel it is a poor paint job or no clear coat applied..

anyone have any answers or same concern or have no paint missing

You think that's bad - i live up in Boston and we kept on getting dumped with snow! I have no paint left there.

Don't let the same thing happen to your body paint! GET MUD FLAPS!
