So has anyone tried applying automotive-type protective film (example from quick web search below) to areas of the frame that suffer stone chips like the front face of the rear bumper?
DuraShield Titan XT™ Paint Protection Film
We purchased a strip of similar 2" wide film from a bicycle shop to protect the paint on the door jam of our car where we mount clamp-on roof racks for our kayaks. Seems the same stuff would work well for areas of the frame and bumper subject to road stone damage.

Old thread I know... I applied some 3M film to the step and front part of the rear bumper early in March. We then went on a two week camping trip to the gulf coast where we were camped right up next to the ocean for a total of about 7 days.
Man is the sea air corrosive!! It even worked its way under the film where I now have several surface rust spots. Probably gonna peal off the film and repaint.
Folks who have to store their rigs right near the ocean have my sympathy
