Bra, clear bra, or ceramic coat
2020 limited with 35k miles. Dump truck in Arkansas with unsecured load shot blasted the front of my truck with gravel ruining the hood windshield and front fascia. I’ve already had the bumper off and repainted so I know how much that costs, and I’m glad I didn’t already replace the windshield because of a crack from the winter.
Enough is enough and I can’t afford to have my truck repainted every year so I need to protect it. I’ve heard wonderful things from YouTubers about ceramic coating but don’t know if it’s strong enough to prevent gravel from chipping through to the primer or not. Same with clear bras. It appears that all three options are going to run me $300-500 depending on which shop or bra manufacturer I use, so I’m considering all three. I’m also going to grab a mopar rock guard and bring back the 1990s. Any guidance, personal experience, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
