Not quite sure. I know paint has been improved so it doesn't fade as fast in sunlight but this is the first time I've heard about it being more chip resistant. May be more resistant but still possible and I tend to keep my cars for a long time. I'd just cover the car with clear film.
You could do what RedCivicTouringMA is doing and cover the areas more likely to get chipped like the hood and headlights first. Then save up and slowly cover the rest of the car.
speaking of which, @RedCivicTouringMA did you ever finish wrapping your Civic?
Generally, the front gets wrapped and the side doors has that side protection moulding. Really up to you, your budget, and if you think it's necessary.
