Rocks chipping paint

[Bronson512]

Seem like every time I go out for a ride my floorboards get blasted by the little rocks and other debris causing horrible chipping. What do you do to to help with this issue. I have given some thought to something like this.

Any thoughts?

Acne of the fenders ???

Clear adhesives and 3M coverings have been used for years on trike fenders. It won't cure all the damage caused by road debris. Rhino coating or a truck bed product is virtually indestructible and now comes in colors and easy applications.

I went with the fender bra's, I also make a point to try and miss loose gravel with the front wheel as much as possible. I did get some touch up paint but at some point down the line it will either get repainted or bed liner added.

1) Baker trike wings
2) Fender Bras
3) Truck bedliner on running board lowers

I have some (don't know what brand factory install) clear adhesive on the lower part of my pickup truck and it has been remarkable at the durability and how it's prevented damage. I will say it's in an area not as prone to rock chips as my trike floor boards but it's a 2002 pick up that doesn't have it easy. I sure hate to put a LineX or Rhino coating on an area that someone has spent so much time putting such a nice paint job on!..............but like you said they to nice job with colors now.

Some good info there Thanks!

I have the Bras on my fenders, so my major concern is the floor boards. those little rock chips are brutal to say the least.
