Still strugling with Clear Bra!

dalparadise

Lots of competition in Houston. Lots of high-end cars. Lots of debris on the freeway. I guess we're fortunate to have good prices on this stuff. I got Venture Shield half hood and fenders, full front bumper and mirrors for $450. It was a no-brainer at that price.

A $1000 repaint will be cheap and show it. Touch-up has never worked for me. I guess I just don't know how to do it right. I have sandblasted the fronts of my last three really nice convertibles. I'm not doing it with this one. So far, the clear bra has been great and well worth the expense for me.

I think that would be overkill if you got your whole front fenders and hood done. I paid $400 for front bumper, half the hood, half the fenders, and mirrors. I love it, its on a Black Cherry roadster and is hardly noticeable. I just use the Turtle Bug & Sap remover on it if I ever get anything stuck on it.

I agree with you, Zigen5. I did the same thing on black and it looks great. I also got the back half of the rocker panels done since I was already showing marks there as well and paid $640. Although some people don't like the almost invisible line the film makes and end up covering the whole fender and the whole hood.

Any advice on polishing the car paint that is not covered by the film? Would you do it? Will it make the paint look noticably different or would you simply wax it?

Also, the guy that installed my film said you could wax the car and film with a synthetic wax and as long as you go away from the bra it will be unnoticable at the seem. Any thoughts on waxing the bra?
