Last season, I noticed a high buck, pro-built '36 with fenders at the Goodguys show that had an amazing number of paint chips on the front of the car. Obviously the car gets driven plenty, but it was finished only a few years ago. As expected, I've got several chips on the front of my fendered car after driving almost 4,000 miles in Colorado. We also have a very high rate of broken windshields, due to all of the rocks being thrown around.

What's your experience with paint damage on an open wheeled car?

Out of all of the cars I've owned, each and every Cobra replica (17 of them have been FFR's, also add the original prototype Spyder from FFR to that list) has accumulated paint chips, it's unavoidable, regardless of paint, unless you add some type of plastic or polymer "clear bra" to them. Of course when you do, that "bra" will accumulate the nicks and dents in it's material over time as well. Again, it's inevitable.
