Do these cars have crappy paint? Or am I unlucky?

Driving to work Friday morning I got blasted by a salt truck driving down a two lane highway.
(I don't know why they were salting considering it rained all day and was above freezing...)
Anyway, it was such an impact I thought the windshield cracked (I wouldn't have minded, it already has a nasty star) no such luck. Instead, I was greeted by no less than five chips all the way through the paint. One on the roof, one on the a pillar, around the grille on the hood, and the front bumper, it even chipped the edge of the headlight
The car had plenty of chips before (presumably from dirt road sheriff life) but all this damage at once is kind of astonishing
Or the truck was just tossing gravel and not salt lol
So is the paint on these cars bad? I've heard people complaining about the paint on gtos before, wonder if Holden had improved their painting process
