I recall our 2003 G having several rock chips after the first couple of years, so maybe it's the luck of the draw, driving habits, location, etc., and not as much about the paint?
I think it's luck, lucky that you chose Moonlight white

The paint sucks on all new cars, and cars that are low to the ground. I've had Audi/BMW/Infiniti/Nissan/VW and all of them chip easy. The only ones that don't are the SUVs that don't skim the ground.
