    Anyone know if SEM Chip Guard is available at Pep Boys/Kragen, Home Depot, etc?

    I want to spray SEM, then cover with that clear vinyl tape.

    I've been using and recommending the SEM Chipguard stuff since I first tried it ~4 years ago. I used it on my fog lights and headlights, as well as the black plastic grill. If I ever get the rock chips properly fixed on the hood and leading edges of the fenders and outside mirrors, gonna Chipguard them too.

    I also used black (comes in clear and black) on the sandblasted rocker panels, which still look new 40K miles later. I don't see much downside with this stuff, and am planning to use in on my Porsche instead of the plastic film that ultimately cracks and yellows. Chipguard probably comes off with solvent, which would make it 1K times easier to remove than the film stuff when old.

    No runs, but I definitely have texture. It's a bit cold here in CA too, garage is probably in the 50's right now, so it's taking a little longer, I think I may have put it on a bit heavy. No runs, since I set them facing directy up... but a bit of texture. Hopefully it'll settle/smooth, I'll hit em with another coat or two from 2 ft away to try to smooth it out a little more... worst case scenario is some fine grit sandpaper and a little polish... it is a clear-coat paint, after all!
