Well while working on my car last night. I noticed that my bumper has already gotten hammered by all the construction going on in my area. Needless to say I don't think I'm giong to really need to protect it all that much. I'll probably return the bottle of clear spray on duplicolor, since it doesn't seem to look good per the post above. But I wouldn't mind trying out the gray one sometime later on. If anything this stuff could be great for bugs.

I'm gonna tape mini me to one hand and the shifter to the other and steer with my chin all the way there, on the dragon and all the way home.

so does the clear make your car look like it has a horrible paint job or something? I mean I think clear would be less noticeable. I dunno, we'll see, I'll grab like 2-3 cans tonight and give it a go...

Clear makes it look like you have an oily film all over the area applied.

Painter's tape? WTF? I'm going to Autozone and get some yellow race tape, bishes!

Last year, after the trailer jacknifed and speared my LR fender, we found clear duct tape - worked great

All the snow and rain we've been getting taping and "bras" are pointless....
