Does white paint chip more than others? My explorer chiped on dents and corners is this problematic?

I think it may be more of an application problem, than a pigment problem. Just curious, is this on plastic, or metal parts?

I would have to agree with Slybarger. Its all on how the car was prep and how the paint was applied. There a big difference between a 200 maaco special and a 1500 job. All paint will chip soon or later.
If you have plastic pieces that are painted, I have seen that plastic pieces require alot of preperation for the paint to stick. If done incorrectly, it will chip.

Well its factory paint; and the reason I ask this is because when I buy a new vehicle or have myn" painted I want to know whats the best

Ive had many vehicles and many different colors. My personel opinion is that white is the best. As far as chipping I agree with the others, I dont think its the color. As far as staying clean, A white car will stay clean longer. Waterspots and dust doesnt show up very quick.
