Smart man.... 3M clear bra is a definite must next time I get my front end repainted. I get sick of seeing chips occur after just a few days on fresh paint. [:@]

ive seen a couple people around here use the tape method. it looks like a good method but it also seems like it would be more of a hassle because these guys would put it on for driving to a show then take it off. then when the show was over they would put a new coat of tape/protectant over it. BTW, kinda pissed because i just got my first road chip on the front of my car some a-hole in a dumptruck pulled out in front of me.

ya word of advise, stay far away from dump trucks, cement mixer trucks...just about anything that hauls small loose materials like rocks and crap..can do some damage.
