I have a 4 year old VW that has a few rock chips and recently did some DIY minor paint chip repair . It is probably not going to be able to have a clear bra because of the imperfections and I am not about to get the front end resprayed. Has anyone tried a Colgan bra, and if so are there any issues with this brand? Just want to prevent further rock chipping..

I had Colgan and LeBra. I only used them for protection on road trips. I preferred Colgan but either will work well for your purpose. Appearance is the main objection. Sun fade will make exposed paint obvious if it is on for a long time.
Like Schmoe said, dirt will collect under the bra and wind buffeting will cause paint damage, that is why they are not as popular as they once were. You would be better-off using a clear spray-on product like 3M Paint Defender Spray Film or roll-on product like Road Warrior Plus Paint Protection Film. As these kinds of products are not permanent, they will have to be reapplied periodically.

Oem bras are the only ones that have a perfect fit. Colgan bras are super tough and almost indestructible,but the fit is never right on.
So there is no clear Plasti-dip type of thing for this?
That, and the thread title suggests that this thread is useless without pics.
