Assuming TMI do this the same as Ariel in the UK, the same process is used for the standard satin black as the options such as gloss black, so I expect the resistance to chipping is similar. The benefit with a gloss finish is you can polish it, should is get scratched, hence I went to gloss black. I also got Paint Protection Film added to specific areas, to further protect the paint from chips and scratches.

Does anyone have an opinion on the standard satin black paint over the gloss black or other options? Will the optional paint which is listed as powder coated resist rock chips better than the satin? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth the extra cost.
