Yes, the paint is that fragile and thin, blame it on water-based paint used to meet regulations mandated by EPA. The elegant solution is to install a clear bra, the not-so elegant is to use 3M Paint Defender or clear PlastiDip which you will hate and soon realize that a clear bra should be installed in the first place, plus the clear bra installer will now hate you. The anti-elegant solution is to use a naugahyde/vinyl-based bra.
Other than those, avoid driving the car at all costs to protect the paint.
