Well I have had mine new since 04 and I have had the front bumper repainted 3 times now. I need to have the bumper and hood both resprayed now. This time I will get a clear bra done.

 

Look into Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film

This the clear bra 1BADI5 is talking about and DBNissan has on his truck.

I plan to get it done when I get my ty truck repainted.

 

. . .or don't drive behind flying rocks :lmao::lmao::lmao:

 

thanks everyone, and blackmamba, the flying rocks are from my tires..i go about 5 mph on my driveway to be careful not to sling them up, but they get stuck in my tires and when i get onto the main road, they sling all over the place lol


i will look into the scotchgard, someone told me i could get it rhinolined and color matched, but i dont know about how much that would cost lol

yessss!!! fucking trailor parks... had that happen to me last night

 

just do a little FOD check...Foreign Object Debris...we have to do it everytime I drive on to the flightline at work, but than again, i hate doing it...I would most definitely not get it rhinolined...that shit looks dumb...sorry I'm no help with much, I just sit at work on a comp until I am dispatched

 

well i would do a foreign object debris check, but i dont have time to stop and pick rocks out of my tires haha. i actually told my gf i might start doing that, but im not quite that OCD about it. it's just a little irritating for a new truck. does anyone know how much the scotchgard protectant would cost?

 

I'm not positive, but I think that stuff is only available through dealerships, swing buy a local dealer and talk to the Body guys, they will let you know whats up

 

i figured it would only be done by a dealer, but i was curious the going rate for them to apply it. i guess i'll just do like you said and hit one of them up and find out

 

I think that Dan (DbNissan) did his own..............

 

Dont ask the front desk tho...walk around to the garage, and talk to a body guy or whatever, they will prolly tell you all you need to know

 

i almost have myself talked into buying some splashguards. they dont look too huge, and i really want a way to stop these chips. every day more and more pieces of paint are missing so i have to do something. that is my first complaint about this truck haha. my s10 never had this problem

 

The 3M paint protection film is not an easy DIY project.

I have had my front covered since day two of owning the truck.

Here is what 140k miles looks like on my front bumper, hood, fenders and grille

The headlights and DRLs also have smoked clear bra on them.

 

I don't like the fact that it "dulls" up the finish :ugh:

 

The new films are undetectable. They are much smoother and shinier than the film produced 5 years ago when I had mine done. I've been contemplating having my buddy replace the film but we want to see how long it will go till it shows signs that it's failing.

 

well now i finally got one on the hood..about the size of a dime. i have never seen anything like the paint chipping on this truck lol. im scared to even look at it wrong

 

did you buy the truck new? or is it a used truck?

 

i hate rocks..now that i got bigger meats that stick out further i know my sides are gunna thrashed

 

same, not lookin foward to it

 

i would rather have a dull look than big spots of bare metal lol. i think im going to try to go that route, it seems like it might be expensive though, so i gotta find out first

 

It's not cheap to have done but well worth it. My S10's front-end would have been repainted 3 times already in 5 years. That would cost much more than the clear bra.
