Now, that's beluga, right? So, how do you prepare for stone chips as they are awfully visible on black?

Yes it's Beluga...I have always had black cars...to me...stone chips are just part of having a well enjoyed car...like a badge of honor...

Don't get me wrong...it's upsetting at first but it's a car...and I absolutley hate clear bras.

The Bentley has been fairly impervious to chips (unlike the 911 after I lowered it!)...I think the high grille and flat hood make it fairly difficult to get the usual chips.

I agree. I can live with knowing those marks on the hood, but it still sucks to see and hear them happen. Having a white car helps as they are not as visible as they are with dark colored cars.

Another thing I noticed is the quality of the paint job. In my Range Rover Sport SC (flat white) there is like one or two chips after three years of driving. The quality of the paint job is better than I have ever seen. You can actually see how thick it is when it is not a metallic color. I would assume GT Speed has super quality paint job.

I also always install thing called DITEC. It is hard surface installed on top of the paint job. They take the original wax off and install this permanent wax type of thing. They give you 6 year guarantee of looks of new car and 75% less stone chips. And I can back that up hands down. I've had that put on my all cars since 2003 including my long gone 600hp H2.

I'm also considering Beluga GT Speed (have one in my sight) because GT Speed happens to look the best in Beluga. But, I'm still hesitant because of the washing swirls. Dark cars tend get those so easily no matter what you do. And in garage/inside those washing swirls ares so freaking visible and just bother me every time...
