Quick question: on the way home from the movies I must've scraped my front spoiler on the road (judging by the scrape marks on the bottom) and it flexed enough to crack my new paint. Without paying to get it repainted or getting a car mask, what can I do to keep the crack from spreading? Keep in mind please that I do show my car often at car shows so nothing supremely ugly please.

 

clear masking tape lol........ i doubt u'll find something that will meet your expectations

 

got the same thing on my 87...there's no easy way that i can think of to make it look "right" without wet sanding and repainting that part.....so i just try NOT to look at mine....i'm wating for a few more marks somewhere else on the car before i mix up some more red.....

 

It wont spread unless you hit it again. The only proper fix is to sand it down to the layer the crack went to and respray it.

 

Has anyone tried clear paint protection film by 3m? i was thinking about putting that on until I can get the money together in the future to have it repainted

 

yes i work with that the whole day they use it on motorhomes heres the downside, after you take it of it will peel ur paint off and/or will leave glue residue and its a b***h to take it off, takes time second of all when they put it on they might peel ur paint off since its cracking already and they have to pull back to make it glue evenly
