The paint currently on the car has a lot of issues.

-Whole front end is chipped all to hell, hood and fenders included.
-Leading edge of rear quarters is all chipped
-Both doors have what look like half assed key marks down the sides.
-Driver front and passenger rear quarters look like something was bumped (all scratched).
-Drivers C pillar has a dent and chip from a wine fridge (dont ask)
-Clear is gone on rear view mirrors and rear spoiler
-Clear is peeling on rear bumper

I am pretty sure the previous owner frequently traveled on gravel roads...the car has an abnormal amount of chips in it.

nah, my LR was chipped when I got it, and chipped worse than any other car I've ever owned. I think the LR is more brittle or something...
