Hello All,
I’ve been looking at the plastic film(tape) 3M makes for protecting the front areas against rock chips. Does it seem rational to spray some Ultra clear gel to do the same thing?
What grit would do well to tie it together? They say the tape is good for 5-7 years before it starts yellowing.
It runs about 700.00 for my Acura TSX, Kind of exspensive for tape that will fail in 5-7.
Thanks in advance
clear gel is too hard and wont take the impact like the 3m tape. That tape was originally designed to protect the leading edge of helocopter rotor blades. we used on the leading edge of our road race wings, If we cheaped out on the size of the “patch”, the paint was gone all around it after one race, 2 races the gelcoat was almost gone teh tape lasted longer than the wings, The driver kept “losing” them when he got too close to other cars.
I appreciate the info and was hoping there might be a satifactory sprayon alternative. I figured you guys would know.
Thanks Bricklin
