Well, I need to find a red Sharpie, lol
And yeah, Infrared is one of those three-stage paints - base, mid, then clear coat. So it'll probably be noticeable. The issue I am having is that one of the chips is deep enough that the paint doesn't want to adhere to it nicely. I may have to just layer the primer a few times to fill in the hole... <sigh>.

I have a couple of chips on my driver's side doors - one on the front and one on the rear. I honestly think the rear door is due to the fact that I had it repainted at a body shop and not of the same quality as the original paint. The front door, not sure. I've not gotten up the courage to go through with touch-up paint yet. I am afraid of making it look worse.

Noticing a couple spots where the paint’s clear coat appears to already be giving way, particularly on the hood in two spots close to each other (circled in yellow on photos below).
Anyone else having these issues? Car is garage parked and has never had bird droppings or the like on it, and at worst only sees touchless car washes. Oddest part is these are areas nobody would ever touch but it looks and feels like somebody else put their thumbs on the clear coat before it dried.

Ugh, paint issues like this is a nightmare. Theres little to nothing you can do other than respraying the whole panel.

Pretty sure that’s from the touchless wash. I’d t have a good detail guy take care of it . Maybe good time to do a 2 step correction.
those touchless can still cause damage to the paint and plastics

It’d be incredibly difficult to imagine a touchless car wash doing this. Nowhere near enough PSI to strip off properly applied clear coat.
