I am interested in putting on dual over-the-top stripes, AND then putting on Clear Protective Film for full bumper, and front 22" of hood.
I talked to 3-4 installers so far, and I am getting mixed answers. Some don't recommend putting clear over the stripes since the clear can not be 100% down to the paint along the edge of the stripe.
It sounds as though those interfaces will barely show the effect of the tiny gap in adhesion. But I suspect that only I will know and notice, and only when I look hard and close.
I really want the stripes, and the CPF makes it seem that I will have many fewer DrColorChip sessions over the car's lifetime. I really don't want to have to choose one over the other.
Another drawback is that if I ever had to pull off the stripes due to degraded appearance from aging, then I am faced with also discarding or replacing the most expensive sections of the CPF.
Does anyone have both strips and CPF on their car?
