Anyone try 3M's Plastidip clear bra yet? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Can it be applied to glass?

My mom enlightened me on this stuff. She said she was curious to put it on her Element so I'm going to *Hopefully* experiment on her car first! I'll let you guys know how it does. My only concern with using hers as a test pig is that it is silver. I don't think it would show imperfections like most other paint colors would (through the clear lining).

Dont think Id put it on glass...but I saw the youtube review on that benz...debating using it myself.....not sure though....a porche forum guy didnt have great luck with it....although he didnt seem to be a painter. And I dont think he let it cure long enough and tried removing it to soon.

When did this come out?

CrazyWookiee · 06-03-2013, 12:10 PM

Wonder if it'll work for wheels. Would be nice to have something temporary to cover aftermarket wheels.

I really like this idea for tracking a street car. Great way to protect the headlights and bumper from debris.

Hmm, I might have to try this! I bet this would give Plasti Dipped wheels a better gloss than the Plasti Dip Glossifier and still peel off when you wanted to.

Well if you're going to only apply it before a track day then any colour really would work since you're just going to peel it off. I'm really waiting on a review because this would help so much in Houston it's not funny. I'm just wondering if it'll seep into any places where the 5axis kit and bumper meets. I would hate to pull it off and ruin the adhesive on the kit.

I use something similar for track days, called "Road Warrior Plus". I ordered a larger quantity of it, so the price per use was cheaper. It comes to ~$7 per track day for me to apply the stuff.

The 3M product looks more transparent and makes sense if you plan on keeping the product on the car longer. However, for track use, Road Warrior Plus seems to be much easier to install. It takes me 5-10min max to roll on the product. When it dries, it has a matte finish look...which doesn't look that great. But, it has been protecting the front of my car...installs in 5-10min...and I can remove it just as quickly.

Sorry to take away from the main thread (being that it's a 3M thread). Just thought I'd throw out another alternative for those of us who track.

I'm getting my car on Friday (6/14) and the first stop on the way home is a shop for Tint and the 3M clear bra. Just gonna do the front half, mostly.

I just got the kit in the mail. I'm going to try and spray the front bumper this week and I'll post pics.
