Title: Bra or Mask for 99 295
Post by: Billbag on July 03, 2020, 06:17:31 pm
Our new to us, Prior owner had polished/painted/ cleaned up the unit no Decals are left.  Pretty nice at 5' ..
The front, although not pristine "ain't bad"  prior experience 3M & Diamond shield left a bad taste. Not to mention look after a few years.
Went on the Net look for a Bra / mask found 3 people on the net that did such.  1 responded positive they had the pattern.
NOW MY ??
Any one out there have a good/bad experience with this idea.  Advise gratefully accepted.
Any one have any experience with ACTIVE RV UPHOLSTERY???  Good or bad.  $700, inc. shipping. Sounds good.  Claims 10yr warrenty..

Thanks,
Bill & Tricia,

Masks are a fashion statement today alright but I would recommend the spray-on shield.  I have it but forget the name.  It stays clear but the down side is removal, and when you finally do need it replaced the paint underneath will have to be redone,  but not big bucks if single color only.

Mine looks almost perfect after 8 years but I haven't had the coach on the Alcan highway either.

How about a vinyl wrap on the front. Easy on & off. Won't harm paint and isn't big $$. So easy to replace every few years.

Jerry, wish there was a LOVE button.

What a great idea!

Most of the problem with a bra/shield is that grit (read "little rocks") can get under and with movement from wind and coach will scratch the gel coat and or paint.. Been there and had that happen on a coach and two toads.  Keep a good coat of wax on the front and clean it regularly.

Have the ArmorCoat on the front of our coach. Still crystal clear after eight years. And yes, we have been down the Alcon and back. I'm a believer.
Installed by FOT.

Not cheap but cheaper than the bra if you can apply it yourself ^.^d

Vinyl wrap is a great idea.  May consider that for our Alaska trip in 2021!

Like Steve we have the ArmorCoat applied by FOT during our FBP in 2011. Have a couple chips but small and what do you expect when you hit a rock at 65mph. I'm satisfied.

see ya
