Hello everyone,
After reading about the stone-chips, and looking at the havoc that my brand new Super Black hood and bumper are going through, I wanted to go for a 3M clear bra.
But I just found out that the cost for one of those is far more than getting the hood and bumper repainted.
So call me crazy, but I am getting new paint for the hood, bumper and fenders, 2 or 3 coats of super black and at least 4 coats of clear. Nice thick coats of paint, under nice thick coats of clear. That should teach them rocks a lesson
I'll be sure to post before and after pics.
Cheers everyone

Why should it cost alot of $$$$? I was thinking of the same thing but dont know that much about painting. Multiple coats would help I think seeing it seems to be paper thin.

New painting methods are different. I don't know if they allow multiple coats.
