Default Spray on Bra...tried it.

Well...I had to try this stuff, and surprised at result.

Used one can of spray
Had just washed car...so license plate was dripping water
Easy to spray on...no drips/runs/etc
I should have let it dry more before taking tape off (the kid in me..couldn't wait)
Final look actually covered all my road rash/etc which was on front (smooth)
Wish I had a second can to touch up under plate.
Got it at Walmart (Duplicolor)

I wish I knew how to make these pics smaller...eh....here goes:









I'll be driving tomorrow...sort of a test....because I have to...

I'm curious too!! Temporary coverage?? Does it look like it will offer any protection from rock chips?

It's advertised as a "cover/bra" for when taking a trip. It is supposed to protect paint (same as regular bra) catch the bug juice and dirt/etc. It does not wash off in rain/snow; however will come off with sponge/soap/water.

So I thought I'd try it for seven bucks and some tape.

First and foremost, you are a brave person. Make sure you post back your thoughts and feedback after a) you've driven with it and b)tried to remove it.

Thanks for posting.

wow! That's ugly as sin!

But cool to know that it would offer protection if I had to go on a LONG road trip or something.
