ClearGuard Nano SR Paint Protector Film

Our Cobras are difficult when it comes to these types of decisions. Due to the lack of body panel seams (there aren't any), it is very difficult to perform paint repair as you will either have a blend line somewhere, or have to respray the entire car's body. There isn't much car in the first place, so respraying the entire car isn't that big of a deal as opposed to living with a blend line.

As for PPF, the same holds true. Where will you be able to tolerate the seams? I've looked into PPF for some of my other cars and couldn't justify it since it needs to be removed within 10 years and the cost of the PPF with the coverage I want (no seams) is about the same cost as a respray. Unless you cover the entire front end of the car in PPF, you are bound to still get a rock chip or something outside the coverage protection area. Removing 10 year old PPF can be very expensive, time consuming, and possibly harmful to the paint you are trying to protect.

My solution is to just drive the damn thing and touch up the bigger stone chips along the way the best you can. If things get really bad, respray. However, there is something to be said about a well enjoyed Cobra with some road rash and patina. Getting that process started is the most difficult part to deal with in our minds, though. I totally get it.
