Default carbon fiber lip all chipped up?

my urethane type r lip has all kinds of rock chips in the paint and is really noticeable sine the urethane is baby blue.. so now i have all these blue spots on a dark red lip i was wondering if the same thing happens to cf lips.. do they get chipped easily? and if so is it just in the clear coat and is it noticeable??

ive heard that bras create moisture under them, which leads to rust.

i would think CF would chip just as easily as the urethane would, it just won't show up as much. that might be a route to go with since your lip will start chipping again a few months after you repaint it. daily driving is not kind to front lips!
