Gents. I'm having my OB painted. It should look good. Removining decals. Nice burgandy on top and satin black on the bottom.
I'm thinking about guilding the lily with a hood bra. I think the whole effect will be unique and quite nice. So......where can I find a car bra? Any sources come to mind?
For best results, clean the glass with a NON AMMONIA foaming glass cleaner, then spray it again and leave it. Apply the film over the glass cleaner, and with a good squeegee with no rough spots, squeegee the tint from one corner, across and down, driving out the glass cleaner.
Then God help you if you live in Mass or another state that allows 35% maximum tint and have to remove it! (It took almost as long to take it off as it did to install it!!!)
(As an aside, I had a green car, and got some green tint in the same color at AutoZone on clearance for $1 a roll....the guy I was working with knew the guy at the inspection station, and I think he called when I dropped my car off, telling the kid "tell him he has to remove that horrible tint...", since you could see through it quite easily...but it sure was a bear to rermove!)
Well, I'm sure the same or similar technique will work on applying a 'clear bra', but, just be certain, this stuff goes on your painted hood to help protect against rock chips.
