I'm having the bumper re-sprayed and am thinking of applying this product as soon as possible afterwards. The shop offers 3M Clear Armor application (about $600). I sent them a link to this product as a possible additional paint protection they can offer to their customers. I may even offer up my car as the guinea pig, as long as they have a chance to do the work in a clean space.
Thoughts?
Just came across this thread, sorry I am so late to the party.
I would check with my paint shop. You may want to wait a while to let the paint cure before you put a coating on it. Your paint shop should be able to give you a good time frame to let the paint totally out-gas and harden before you apply any protective coating. Depends on what kind of paint they use.
I contacted 3M and Bell Racing Helmets about this stuff. I applied it to my Snell 2010 racing helmet to keep the helmet from chipping (I tend to be hard on my helmets, knocking it against roll cages getting in and out of my car and students' cars). Bell advised against it if it is flammable. 3M confirmed that even though the propellant is flammable, the material in liquid or solid dried form is not flammable.
I shot my helmet. I didn't like the pattern I had masked and I put it on too thickly in a few spots so it ran, so I peeled it off and re-shot it. I like the results. Hopefully the material will keep my helmet from getting chipped up. Since I had the material peeled off in a small ball in the palm of my hand, I tried to set it on fire with an open flame. It melted into a few small drops but did not ignite, so I'm OK with it on my helmet.
If you do try it on your NSX, do follow the directions (which I found to be pretty clear and explicit) carefully. It is important it is laid on very evenly and with the correct orange peel, lest it be not thick enough, or may run if too thick.
