Fender paint chipping

So guys, what are some suggestions on what i should do to stop/protect the paint cracking/peeling?

This is from my wheels hitting my fenders a few times, the pics arent good but i hope it gives you guys an idea.

I've heard that clear finger nail polish will protect it from cracking further. If you continue to rub though the paint will crack even more. You need to either add more camber, run a smaller tire size or pull your fender a tiny bit.

Mine started like that and a little piece eventually cracked off, I have just been putting a few layers of touch up paint over it

^ OEM you can get it from your dealer for like $10. It comes with a paint end and a clear coat end.
