My dealer told me that it is because the paint is probably too HARD that it chips so easily, supported by the fact that the bumper has no chips at all.
Any way, they have agreed to give it another go, so hopefully 3rd time lucky.

It is confusing I know - the softness/hardness has nothing to do with the paint depth.

If the car easily scratches it is because the paint is too soft.
