Unhappy Paint Chipping

So I've owned my Z for about 2 months now, and haven't been able to afford a clear bra...and i've got two small paint chips on the front end. I can see the white primer, and it's super black which stinks even more. Is the paint really this un-durable... ...not an english major I got the clear coat, is this a Nissan issue or just a fact of life?

Any suggestions to how to take care of this before I get the clear bra?

I am not being sarcastic......do not FOLLOW anybody..... Before I got my clearbra I used to ask myself if the vehicle in front of me "was worthy" of being there......I got MINIMAL paint damage before my clearbra install.....

Hell....I still don't follow anybody

Let's just put it this way... I thought all the Z owners who got clear bras were paranoid compulsive freaks...

Then... I got my Z

2 weeks without clear bra - 4 chips

Touched them up... and....

4 months with clear bra - no additional chips or anything. It's no longer a concern. And I've seen people bump my front with their bumpers (think new Toyota Camry at 2mph)... the clear bra, I am confident absorbed the impact and "kept the paint together"... looks great!

There are three choices:

1) Clear bra

2) Chips & repaint

3) Don't drive the car.
