Yup, paint is apparently super thin, standard rock chips will take it down to bare metal. Buddy of mine has had to repaint his a couple times.

Read the many threads over in Sprinter forum for opinions on this. Some say paint has gotten better in the last couple-three years. I did have a minor scratch in the door frame area on my rig that had original factory paint, and it started rusting almost immediately. So I am not too impressed by the "improvement" claims.
My semi-beater BMW sedan lives a hard life, and NONE of the non-repaired scratches have rusted yet. It's an '08. The reason I call it the "semi-beater" is that although it's a nice car, it's our ONLY car, and it has to double in brass as a freight hauler on occasion, and sit third-chair on the percussion squad when parked and driven on San Francisco bay area streets! She has a hard life, the poor thing.
