I've still got the original bra that was purchased w/ my 84 Westy when new.
It's almost time to replace it, but it has no mildew stains on it after 21
years. However, I only run w/ it when I am on the highway/freeway to avoid
bugs & rock chips.  The rest of the time I leave it in the garage. I take it
off whenever I wash the van, but I have never worried about it getting wet,
& have not seen any paint problems on the nose.

FWIW,

Tom Buese-gonna put it on tonite for the BBB 600 mile-1 way trip.
