    Bumper bras and ordering paint from the factory?

    My front bumper got scuffed today, and I'm really upset about it.
    Has anyone ordered a cup of paint from mitsubishi? I am going to call about it tomorrow, I would like to have some on hand just in case.

    Also, has anyone been able to find a bumper bra?

    Yeah, I know it's a bizarre name. Look at carbras.com for reference.

    Won't you be afraid that your car will have different color after a few years of usage? The protected part will have fresh color while the rest of the car's color will fade because of exposure to sun and (acid) rain?

    If she uses a good UV protection sealant she shouldn't have that problem. But it would be just as easy to get the 3M clear wrap for the front end and side mirrors to protect from stones and bugs, you can also put it on your rocker panels to prevent blasting them with road debris. Or better yet clear wrap your whole car to lock in a nice waxed look, easy to clean and much tougher than paint

    I had a Subaru that was clear wrapped. It ended up yellowing and getting cracks and was a pain to remove when I traded it in. Most of my miles are highway and I want the bra to protect against rocks. I'd much rather have a slight shade difference over paint chips everywhere, you know?
