this is the temporary bra right?All i think it would help with would be bugs and dirty, rocks would still chip the paint/metal. they say its a good idea for a long road trip, so you can just wash it off and all the bugs and dirt fall off.
Quote, originally posted by northvibe »this is the temporary bra right?yeah I was just joking about the cladding thing. My thought was you could mask out a neat design and carry it over to the hood.That's a good thought about the rocks tho. Surely it can't be any harder than the clear/paint that's allready on the car. It might help with small gravel on a road or something like that
I just used it on a 1,248 road trip. It raind the last 500 miles. It came right off with no extra effort as I washed the car after the trip. I could see that the rain took some of it off. All miles were at highway speed and I didn't have any bugs stuck permenantly on the front bumper. I used clear and just stayed away from the grill and lights, i.e. I didn't use any shielding or masking while I was spraying. I figured that if I got some on the lights I could just wipe it off. I also didn't have a chance to clean the car first. I just sprayed it over the exsiting dirt.I used about 1/2 a can on the front. I am considering getting black and spraying in the tire wells and under the car.
I would say if you want it under the car and in the fender wells, just get some undercoating. Unless you are talking about visible spots that you want to be able to remove it from. I bought some of this stuff, haven't used it yet though.
I recently saw a demo on TV where a Duplicolor rep. masked out design on a silver Dodge Charger and sprayed in black. Afterwards he washed it off with a pressure washer. i don't know how it looked close up, but it didn't look bad on TV.
