Default Rocker Panel paint

I have a 2007 Atomic Orange C6. I keep getting small rock chips in the rocker panels. Does anyone else have this problem? The dealorship repainted the passenger side rockerpanel and it already has chips in it again. I was thinking about having like a black coating that they use for the bed liners on trucks put on the rocker panels, although I'm not sure how that will look. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Get used to it...

Those wide tires throw up debris and rocks, mix that with a painted surface thats only inches off the ground and you get chips ect.
