	Hi all, I’m replacing the front arches on my VW T4, I’m thinking of spraying the lip with stone chip to protect it from, well, stone chips. Is this something that’s worth doing and if so can anyone recommend a decent stone chip? Just thinking a rubberised coating may provide some protection from curse word and stones thrown up by the wheels?

	3m seems to be the most OE used

	Gravitex or raptor. Raptor is more of a spray and go coating, it can be tinted but not very easy to match colours. Gravitex is a more traditional stonechip you need to paint over.
