Rear fender sand blast

[PKOttawa]

So my shiny new black model Y was in the shop for a couple weeks while they fixed a paint defect in the door..

Unfortunately, this meant I couldn’t get the car PPF wrapped as I planned.

I just came back from a camping trip and had to drive about 30 miles on gravel roads. After washing the dirt off today.. I can see that the rear fenders look like they’ve been sandblasted! Even the plastic trim on the bottom feels really rough. The rear doors have a slight panel gap and stick out.. and those edges have white spots where the paint was chipped right off.
I’m hoping some of the damage can be fixed when I do get the car wrapped.. but those areas are very prone and the paint seems very thin.

I previously had a Range Rover, it has over 110,000 miles on it and absolutely no paint chips at all.

It’s a bit hard to see but I tried to show the damage in the attached photos - really recommend a PPF in those areas!

I noticed those exact same chips on the rear door where if flares out like that. I drew up a file in sketchup and had my sister in law cut out some clear vinyl wrap on her cutter machine to match that area while I waiting for my paint repairs to happen. After I got all the paint damage from deliver fixed I went and had the bumper clear wrapped and the whole length of the bottom of the doors, right below the crease line. I've looked at other cars and it isnt as easy to see the damage as it is with the black but I am betting come spring, there are going to be alot of "my door has been sandblasted" threads. .
