Suggestions to help save the paint?

[MickeySaleen]

I am dropping an assload of money to get my front bumper repainted as well as the entire car to get full clay barred and detailed. Now, my car is maybe 3.5 inches off the ground in the front and it is a PAIN IN THE ASS SOMETIMES. I want to put some kind of material on the very bottom portion of the bumper so when it scrapes, the paint is safe. I have had a clearbra on this thing before and it definitely helps but not to that extent. I was thinking maybe some painting tape just for the bottom (at least 3-5 layers) to help take some of the damage when this thing scrapes. I am trying to keep the paint in better shape. I dont care how shitty it looks driving around as long as the paint stays in good shape for shows, etc. Any ideas?

GT500 chin spoiler?

On a Saleen front end? Dont think so...LOL

I would be 1 inch off the ground if that were even possible

I would say to make something out of fiberglass, but you'd destroy it every time you hit something. Are you wanting to protect it from scraping or from debris hitting it?

Just from scraping...not much you can do about debris

Have you tried the clear bra in multiple layers? I think that would have the same effect as multiple layers of painters tape.

Clear bra's are already very expensive....multi layered clear bra would be like buying a new bumper!

here's an idea...
how about you stop scraping the bottom of it and remember you're sitting on sportlines

Mickey, I posted this on the "other Forum" but don't know if you've seen it yet. I will also post it for the guys on "this other forum". I have used this on occasional road trips and at the track for road debris. I don't know if it will work for your application but you can try it.
