Default Amber Whiskey Paint issues?

Wondering if anyone else is noticing that their Amber Whiskey painted bikes seem to chip the paint way easier than they should? I have 2 really deep chips already. Do I have bad luck or is this color of paint just trying to remove itself from these bikes?

Had mine since September, and not a speck, not even the fairing. There is a ton of loose gravel and cinders on the roads right now that is easily picked up and tossed by cars in front of you.

Over 12,000 miles on mine and have four chips. The new water borne paint mandated by Uncle Sam is not as good as the old stuff.

I've got a little over 1000 miles on my Whiskey Amber / Silver Road King and my paint is fine.
