I've noticed a lot of the red ones tend to chip, at least is the case from friends and posts I've seen online. Don't think there's much to be done in the way of preventative measures other than not stressing the the plastic it's adhered to. I think it's more a case of factory defect with the surfaces not being properly cleaned before the paint being adhered to it, or the paint itself having a bad batch.

I had the gold one with a triforce and it chipped horribly.
It looks really ugly now.

Always sad to see a special edition one messed up like that. The only ways to make it not ugly that I've seen are putting on a skin, peeling off the rest of the paint using tape so it's metallic silver, or replacing the shell with a 3rd party one. All of which take away the special edition and ruin any extra resale value.
