Probably not by color. It depends on the manufacturer of the paint Endura, Dupont Imron, etc. A polyurethane paint may be more chip resistant that an acrylic urethane but if your gonna rock bash this thing, no paint will stand up forever against stones.

Thick paint chips easy!
Use no more paint than needed to get it colored.
New cars are about 4-5 mills thick
