I had one in the 80's and it did damage the paint. maybe paint jobs or the bra's are better now. i use an acrylic sealer wax and layers of Klasse paint gloss on top cause the 3m stuff is expensive. just some thoughts.regards, nick
Yes, some of the older ones could damage paint. But you're not supposed to leave them on. It also helps to put a heavy coat of wax under the bra when you use it. I just wanted something to protect the front from love bugs on long trips. During the summer time in Florida the love bugs will destroy a paint job faster than anything.
I've been curious about the 3M stuff. I guess I can go to a local dealer and check out a couple installations. Our car is garage kept, so I don't have to worry about fading as much.
