Most late model vehicles have either a smooth anti-chip (gravel guard) material or the more familiar textured type applied to the lower front fenders,
rocker panels and quarter panels.
In the case of smooth anti-chip, because of its smooth appearance, it is very difficult to detect.
Anti Chip Coatings
One (1) method of detecting its presence is to check the film build in the areas that require protection (see illustration). Normal unprotected exterior
finishes have a total film build between 3.0 and 4.0 mils while protected areas have a range of 5.0 to 11.0 mils.
When repairing existing anti-chip or adding anti-chip material where there was none, the following guides will aid in achieving either a smooth or
textured finish. In any case, manufacturer's label directions should be read prior to application.
Type of Finish
Adjustment
Smoother (Less Texture)
more thinner and/or
increase gun distance
Uneven (More Texture)
Less thinner and/or
