From everything I've read, rock chips are not going to be easy to touch-up and respraying a single panel to match is difficult.

Your best bet is a quality matte PPF.

Ive got my Frozen MBB wrapped in XPEL Stealth and it looks great but the finish is obviously different to the matte paint finish so you really need to wrap all the car. My guy did the gloss roof, mirrors and diffuser etc in XPEL Ultimate.

I wrapped my Frozen Black in XPEL Ultimate on the full front + mirrors + door cups + door edges. The Frozen paint is matte, but still has a bit of metallic flake in it. I was afraid the XPEL Stealth would not match up to the paint well. I'm later going to XPEL the CF Roof.
