Chips on hood The hood on my Z is getting rock chips everywhere. I saw an add on Tv for some paint chip repair from Dr. Chip, does anyone know if this stuff is any good? I was a car painter in my younger days and can't see how putting touch-up paint on chips is going to fill them like the add says. Can anyone recommend a good bra(for the car). I'm not really a car bra kind of guy but those nicks really show up on a red car.
I spent hours buffing and sealing the paint and the chips are getting worse.
Any help would be great.

Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film from 3M is an invisible "bra" made of clear 8 mil thick film. They have many professional installers or do it yourself pre-cut sheets for your car.
Comes to anywhere from $300 to $400 for a full front bumper and hood bra but well worth it. The leather ones are awful looking.

It's pretty much stock now, so how much uglier could it get, and the wife drives it more than me. I ride almost everyday.
I just had some guy come into my shop for the same kind of film for motorcycles, maybe I can score a sample.
I would go ahead and repair and repaint it. Yes red is a B to match bc it fades bad. Plus a bra is gonna eat the paint away where it rubs it constantly and you don't want that either. Repaint it and then go with the 3m clear film
