The clearbra/chipguard curiosity

clairvoyant · 08-29-2011, 08:02 AM

Well, after 3 years of extensive beating, the clear bra/chipguard on my hood deteriorates.
The biggest question:
Should I peel off the old one and apply the new one (more risk damaging the paint)?
OR
Should I just apply the new one on top of the old one (less risk on damaging the paint)?

Thank you

It'll look like crap if you just put another layer on.

If you peel it off, do it slowly and it should be fine.

There shouldn't be an issue peeling it off it shouldn't damage the paint.

It will look very ugly if you put it over the old one. It did its job...
