Thats a great idea. I hadn't thought about the paint protection film. I wonder how long base clear would need to cure before the film could be applied.

I had thought about spraying the area that might be damaged with red plasti-dip. It so happens that my red paint color is a near perfect match. Only the sheen is different but I dont think it would look bad.

Maybe I'll leave the chains off for a few months until the paint cures.
