Road Chips

Does anybody have a good tip/trick/mirical that prevents the front of are cars from getting #^%$ road chips ???
I got touch up paint, but the way i see in order to keep the front nice and clean i would have to have it repainted every 2-3 years.
Is there sum king of transparent sheild or clear paint for this?

Thx

That's one of the benefits of a car bra, although I don't usually like the looks of them.

ya i guess thats why the bra was invented , but i really dont like the look. i saw a white GTA with 1 , and oh gesss it seems to make the car look sloppy or like it trying to hide its nose, i think i break the look of the car.

I pretty much live with repainting the nose every couple of years. I also have a bra for driving to long distance shows, but have never used it to date. Probably should, but I can't stand the things. I've been thinking about painting it blue to match my car, in which case I might actually use it occasionally.

Hey guys


I read somewhere in the messages that we can use Nail Polish as a temporary solution while waiting for the real repaint.
Well thank *** for understanding chick, my girlfriend showed up yesterday with a special present just for me ! You guess it, Flame Red metallic by Wet & Wild

Almost same match like 95-99% close, just for those little pin head chips, you the one that you see but nobody else cares about cuz they say i only shows if you have your face on the nose of the car. Well those little chips **** the hell outta me, all the rest is alll nice and waxed , and boom little pin head chips on the nose

Anyways i want to no how long does the nail polish last, will rain decolor it, somhow my real bottle of touch up paint become a little darker after a couple washes. What kind do you guys use?
Revlon or other?
