Stone chip protection for undertray

Post by Atomic »

I am waiting for the manufacture and delivery of an undertray that incorporates a tail-tidy. It will arrive unpainted.
I want to finish it with a matt black paint.
Due to the stone damage that is likely to occur, what brand sprays should I buy? Has anyone used the stone chip protection sprays that the likes of eurocarparts sell?

TIA

If it's just going matt black then don't worry about stone chip protection.

If it gets that badly chipped just pull it back off and repaint it

"Raptor" is a good "bed-liner" type paint that is highly chip resistant.

Alternatively, cover it with a clear vynil wrap like Venture Shield.

Would normally agree Ian, but I have a strong feeling it is one of those that will be a bugger to put on/take off.

Cheers Moose, I will look up the Raptor paint.

Or you could get it wrapped. The vinyl wrap available at XS wraps is pretty bloody home's and hard wearing
