If you want to protect Doug from superhumanly accurate graffiti taggers who blindside him so that he doesn't get to Dodge, just give him the 1-point Shtick perk from GURPS Martial Arts. Kai Lian (pg. 39) has Shtick (Clothes never get torn or dirty). Doug could have Shtick (chaos field rapidly breaks down random gunk sticking to Doug) or something to that general effect. I'd also give him a -5-point Odious Personal Habit (chaos field causes numerous mildly annoying things to happen in Doug's presence). This isn't literally a habit, but it is close enough to model the resulting reaction modifier.
(For that matter, would Doug's field protect Doug from getting tagged by a drive-by graffiti artist? Mark is the one who said "It’s effective against anything that targets him, or his immediate vicinity," not Bob.)
