Thanks 1project2many. That answers my question, but that's a weird place for them. I expected they would only be a problem on the top of the fender. Are you talking about a rear fender? That would explain it.

My truck came to me with fender mostly repaired on the out side. But on my rear fenders on the inside i can see where some divots have been hammered back down to the inside, did the bottom of my cab with Raptor liner and plan on doing the same with all the fenders at least in areas that could get hit hard.

Me too on the divots, I'm doing rubberized undercoating with outside truck color painted then clear coated.

Yes, the chips are in the bottom 6" of the right rear fender. The front fenders have been hit before but nothing hit hard enough to do any damage.

Thinking about it, the right rear fender is the one I coated with spray-on polyester filler. Most of the filler was sanded back off but it's possible that the filler type makes a difference.
