How long have you had your

How long did you have your new C7 before you got the first paint chip. How did you feel about it? I haven't had it happen yet but I dread the time when it will.

I'm coming up on 2K the only chip I got so far was dig in the plastic sheeting that covers the paint just before the left rear wheel.

It left a tiny white mark in the sheeting, I can live with it being so low on the body.

Super-surprised that it took 15,000 miles. And it's a small one (pin-head-sized).

All the others, it was ~1,000 miles.

Got a couple of small chips on the way home from the dealer (2500miles). No big deal...touched them up and haven't thought about it since, until just now anyway.
