Question Spray-on Clear Bra

Has anyone here used this product or thought about using a spray on clear bra? I am wondering how well it works and if its nearly as invisible as the 3M clear bras.

Never heard of it. The price sure is right, but you usually get what you pay for! It would be nice to pull it off every 4-6 months as it got damgaged. I just had my clear bra installed last week.

It looks like it's actually black, not clear. And the ad makes it sound like it's mainly intended for temporary use, like when you would put on a regular bra for a roadtrip, rather than to just leave on all the time. Seems like one of those "sounds too good to be true because it is" sort of things.

There's something actually out there. It's been out for awhile it's called 'Nevr-Chip'. It's basically a very very strong clear coat that goes over your paint. My brother's car which is in the shop getting his kit painted will have it applied to all parts of the body kit. I'll have pictures - which I'm sur will be useless, cause the stuff is actually clear...*lol* Anyhow, I'll let you know how it goes. And yes, as far as I know it's the only product of it's kind. My friend owns a company that distributes the stuff

I use this product called Liquid mask for my hobbies. The stuff seems to be the same. You paint or spray it on, it turns clear leaving a thin rubbery film. You can peel it off easily without leaving any mark or residue. Might work pretty well for this application. You may have to put on a few coats to ward off rocks larger than 1/4".

Yeah, I guess I don't want a black spay on bra.

I just found these links off of another forum. looks like the protint is a clear version and they sell it by the gallon.

A quote from a thread earlier today.

I've seen it, it looks very nice and you treat it just like regular paint in terms of waxing/polishing, but again it's $$$$.

The other spray on bra is the peel off kind, like this:

You spray them on, drive it, then remove - you don't leave them on and in my experience they don't look very good, but serve their purpose (long road trip or whatever).

Thanks picus. That's probably where my friend sent me the original link from. I also found the same set of links on detailersclub later in the day.

Sure - I still think dollar for dollar a regular clear bra install is probably the best bet. I think as time goes on the spray on stuff will get better but right now it just looks kind of cloogey (I know that's not a word but you get the idea).
