White paint and chips

I m very close to buy a TL. I must decide between black and white.

I know dark is difficult to keep clean, without spider web etc...

But i know the paint quality of acura is (or was not) the best. So when you have stone chips on white you have black dots. So for those who have a white what you think about that ?

I will lease it for 24 months, and i don't wan't to put a clear shield.

When road debris hits the car the paint will chip right down to the metal. I must have 20+ chips on my car. When I happen to get a new chip I clean it up real nice and put some touch up paint on the chip and it is almost as good as new (well not really)...

Good news is that from a distance you can't really tell. If I can remember I will go out and take some pictures of my chips tomorrow.

I wondered about installing the clear bra on the front end but then I figured that I would rather spend the money and get the front end repainted in a couple of years

I second the touch up paint but clear bra would probably be best maybe have to give in and do that?!

I have the clear bra on the metal parts but not the bumper. The chips are there, but you can't see them too much on white.
