    Roughly 30 minutes because I was trying to remove the "magnetBra" logo sticker and the goo left behind, as well as redoing the edging. It was almost a direct match, so not too much stretching.

    Really an easy process. Gives me some comfort in knowing it will be easy to remove and reapply once every or every other month.

    I really like the way the matte black sheen of it continues the look and feel of the cladding onto the hood. Makes a nice transition.

    I'm happy with it.

    It's also a good place to add a custom logo you may have been thinking about ... without it being permanent.

    I'm still thinking about maybe doing the V6 logo on mine.

    JAMMY!!!! WoW! You REALLY do own a VX! WOW!
    And it's gorgeous....I mean GORGEOUS DUDE!!!!!!
    Well done! You got those 90 degree angles on that edging perfect!


    Anything oily, like fingerprints, wax splatter (don't ask me how I know that) will make the matte finish shine. Then you have to use something like windex. I used 303 on my original bra, it seemed to work well, but I wanted to try my new bra completely nekkid and see how it looked over time. It seems to have maintained a little more matte than when I treated the other one.



    ....and it looks like the Showroom New dye on the cladding came out excellent!

    Thanks!

    I found out about making it shiny when I used goo gone on that logo sticker. Frustrating. I will try windex to see how it does.

    I think the showroom new turned out really well. I am going to put another coat on it at some point, but I am really happy with it for now.

    Thumbs down MagnetBra

    Yes, The MagnetBra Looks Great but they Recommend that it be Removed Once Every Month! I Did NOT Take Mine Off For Several Months and When I Finally Removed It My Paint Was Hood Damaged In Two Spots With Tiny Bubbles. Switched To A Covercraft and It Is Much Better !

    If I'm hiding rock chips with the MagnetBra, what do I care if the paint gets a little goobered up? It'll have to be repainted if I decide to ditch the bra anyway.

    Just jerkin ya around! I like the look of the MagnetBra so I'm stickin wit it!

    The goobered up paint can probably be fixed with a claybar.
