Fresh paint job, daily drive, freeway what is the best option to protect the paint on your front end from rock chips?

Will Painters tape work? or..

 

either painters tape the **** out of it and redo it every few days or dont drive it

thats really all you can do, you need the paint to breathe so dont use a bra, and that clear 3m will peel your paint if you ever want to remove it

those are really your only options

 

how long ago did you get the paint job?

 

oem honda full bra, runs about 100 bucks but is easier to put on than a bunch of painters tape everytime.

 

get the clear bra there are a few company that have kits....and no this will not peel the paint I have had 2 cars with it and looks great and no chips...little on the pricey side.....my girl fist car was a 06 corolla and it cost me $500 just for the hood/fender caps/ and side mirrors...she now has a 07 camy and I got the full kit for $1000 installed it covers everything as above and bumper/lip/door handle cups/headlights/foglights//

good ish

 

3M clear bra.

I drove 1300 miles straight from Iowa to NY with blue 3m painters tape on my civic. Worked great.

I also used it for my track day Although, I did find out it was completely unnecessary. haha

Hmmm you want it to breathe so dont use a bra..........but putting tape all over it is ok.........that makes perfect sense lol


Its a car. Just drive it. My cars paint has 200K on it and looks great its called dont tail gate people...........or you could drive around in your snazzy new painted car with tape all over it looking like a jack ***, your call though.

 

IMHO I would use the 3m clear, and stay away from bras, for years they have been known to cause more harm then good!!

Strap a thief to the front and watch him die a slow, terribly annoying death.

No, but 3M clear bra is dope. I see it on a lot of exotics.
