This looks pretty cool! Who's gonna be the guinea pig? Elff, you were going to protect your sills, right?

Video seen on that page says it's good for at least a year, not long enough IMHO. The stick on 3M film or something like Ventureshield last way longer and still looks good years later.

TomatoSoup · « **Reply #2 on:** May 30, 2013, 06:15:15 PM »

Yeah, but so easy to apply (like PlastiDip) and you can do it every year for 10 years without coming close to the cost of 'real' clearbra.

I wonder what happens after a year?

MomsSol · « **Reply #3 on:** May 30, 2013, 06:31:04 PM »

Looks very similar to clear PlastiDip. And, if you don't apply enough coats (6-8) it's a be-otch to remove should you need or desire to.

I would like more Women to wear clear bras. I think they look bad on cars, but they would look great on women.

MomsSol · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2013, 07:33:06 AM »

I'm not sure about 3m stuff and how it would hold up, but I do know that I Plastidipped my grills last year and they still look great.

if anyone tries this product please let us know how well it works.

It seems very pricey and you can buy painters tape and use newspaper, so the "kit" IMHO isn't necessary.

This might be good for the clear-bra film more 'difficult to cover' areas, like side mirrors and the 'nail scratch' areas behind the door handles.

Also, per the FAQ, info about the 1 year life:

How long does 3M™ Paint Defender Spray Film last?

3M™ Paint Defender Spray Film will protect for at least 1 year. Depending on sunlight (UV) exposure, after a year the film may start to yellow and show signs of wear. At this point 3M™ Paint Defender Spray Film can be removed and a new coating applied.

I will test this product at the mod meet. No telling which car I will test it on, or in what pattern, but a test will be done.

I'll probably just be standing around with my thumb up my patoot, so we can try it on mine if no one else actually wants it.

cdflint · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2013, 10:13:56 AM »

I may give this a try but how many coats to a can? My front bumper could use this. Although my Dr. Color chip may get angry. Are you still at Nationals GJ? save a can for me.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2013, 01:31:39 PM »

Yeah, I'm still at Nationals. I've been clear bra-ing every co-Ed that graduated from NAU this year. It's taking longer than I thought.

Peeling it off the next day produces interesting results.....

POS VETT · « **Reply #20 on:** June 03, 2013, 09:02:21 AM »

I'll let you guys be the guinea pigs

My GXP already has real clear bra custom-installed and it includes the wing mirrors, windshield frame, and the exterior door handle pockets to guard against nail marks.

Has anyone ever done the whole car?

(Why not make the whole airplane a black box)

POS VETT · « **Reply #22 on:** June 03, 2013, 10:49:48 AM »

Yep, my installer has installed a few whole cars; one of them was an Aventador and it cost about $5k.

WTF?
That's crazy.

POS VETT · « **Reply #24 on:** June 03, 2013, 10:12:27 PM »

Which part was crazy ? That there were cars wholly wrapped, that it was an Aventador, or that it was an Aventador wrapped wholly ?
