rocks killing paint!!!

DOes anybody have the problem of the paint chipping off the bottom front corners of the box. I use my truck in the bush for work and don't drive fast. Is there some kind of clear tape you can use?? I tried clear coating it after using a half a bottle of touch up paint but no luck. I'm really fussy about the looks of my truck. Please help!!!

try going to a window tint shop! they should have some clear vinyl that you can stick on there. they may even put it on for you so that it is cut straight and put on without any bubbles.

3M Clear Chip Guard

Any body shop can spray the bottom of your truck with chip guard, it clear and has a rubber base to it and works well you just can't wax over it.

Those cheap little mud flaps is what I have on my truck. They work wonders.

They bolt in under the cab between the cab and the nerg/step bars so no rocks will hit the bottom of the doors. They work really well.
