Just a suggestion, so if this is off base, then feel free to disregard.
3M makes a clear film to protect paint. I have seen it used on cars that have very low hood lines. In those instances, it is put over the front of the car (most of the time, on the hood only, but sometimes on the front of the fenders as well), and is supposed to prevent rock chips. This is not the "bra" type of covering, it is a stick down clear film, compleetey transparent. If you could find some of that, and cut it to shape for your wheel flares, it may help.

I saw a product, a year ago or so, on Roadkill. It is a (rattle can) spray on paint protector, that can be peeled off, if needed.
It was on an episode with a Furd Crown Vic police car vs. Cheby Caprice police car.
Also, on newer several vehicles, I have seen something applied to rear half of front fender and to rear wheel/quarter panel, that is either spray on or apply on that covers roughly 1 foot by 1 foot, that is to protect paint.
If you were to go to a parking lot, you will find this (film?) on a lot of vehicles (but not all).
I'm not sure what that material is and am interested to know – just too lazy to find out.

I Gravel Guarded the bottom of a GrandAmGT I owned for a bit. Sold it to my son 3 yrs ago,or more. It still looks good. 'Course he beat the rest of that car up pretty good;but the Gravel Guarded part is fine,lol. Maybe I shoulda done the whole car,top to bottom,front to back,side to side,lol.
Maybe I should just take his license away. Kidding! He's actually a pretty good driver. He just has a lotta gravel to drive every day.

The 3M film I have seen is gloss clear. No idea if it comes in colors or in matte/satin finish.

Any body shop supply company should have it, I would think, as most body shop supply places carry 3M supplies. Otherwise, see who 3M's website lists as closest to you for body shop supplies.
