The rock stars in the paint can be an issue with my fiberglassed Cobra body. Many of the roadster builders use bed-liner to prevent that, and for the most part it seems to work good.
I used a product called EZ Liner that is also available in a spray bomb application. It drys quite hard, and I think for the best protection you would need several cans of it, to give it some cushioning from stones.
I wish now I had gone with their brush/roll on product that they sell. It could be applied much thicker.

There is also a type of rock guard, that is like a sheet of flexible material, that you could stick to the inside fender wells. It is commonly used on later model production cars, I think to dampen road noise, more so than protection, (as most modern cars have plastic fender liners for that). Maybe check a dealer?
There is also an automotive aftermarket, self adhesive, butyl rubber material available. It comes in a box of several strips, that you just cut to length. They are about 6-8" wide, and 3' long. One fellow I know, used it on a Bronco he had restored, and he was very happy with it.

I have used SPI Bedliner under my Fenders-I like that you can set the Spray Gun (that they sell) to put it on as thick as you want, and, it's the kind of Bedliner that stays pliable (which I like)-you can tint it whatever Color you want (it comes with a Black Toner tube), and is a 2-part Product (meaning it sets up like Paint)-you can spray it with a Texture, or smooth-your choice.
I have used it on the Floorplans, underneath the Running Boards and Fenders-I like that it is durable, and looks good (at least to my old eyes
)-my Car isn't done, so I can't tell you how well it lasts, but, like any other SPI product I beleive it is top-notch-
Here is a little more on it-
