Paint without stonechips

[Gizze]

Reality, or dream? My car has lots of stonechips, and I read that TVR Bodyshop are using / experimenting with a new paint system which prevents stonechips. Has anybody experience of this new wonder paint? And is there anybody else using it a bit nearer Essex? If I get it done at TVR Bodyshop by the time I drive it home I could be back to Square One
Lastly, for those Techi type people: why do TVRs suffer stonechips so much, is it glassfibre cars in general, or just TVRs?

it is partly down to the paint (once it's resprayed it'll be a bit more resillient}don't know why, and partly down to fibreglass being less absorbant than steel.

is it something to do with the fact that with fibreglass bodywork, lower temperatures have to be used when in the oven, so paint isn't quite as hard???

Aerodynamically it seems to suck stones from all around. You also have to remember that unlike basically every other car on the road TVR's and Griffs particularly have no bumper, no grill. Basically nothing that would hide stonechips that all other cars probably get.
