Temp Paint Shield - No more Blue tape

Not sure if anyone has tried this or if it has been posted before, but i was in my local NAPA auto parts store today and saw this product.
"Shield, from Dupli-Color, provides temporary spray-on protection for your vehicle where bugs and road grime can do damage. It’s ideal for the front end, rear quarter panel and rocker panels. Spray on Shield as a temporary bra for long road trips, quick mud flaps or as a bug guard. Shield sprays on easily and dries in less than a minute. And best of all, it stays on until you wash it off. You can power wash it off or use soap and water. Rain, snow or moisture in the air won’t affect it. This product leaves no residue on a vehicle’s paint. Give your vehicle the protection that it deserves with Shield."
I dont track my car,..but had to post this as it looked real healpful. Was only $9.95 a can
Thought you track guys might be interested in this. Looks like the perfect product for track days.

Unfortunately, it doesn't protect against hard debris like rocks. It works well for bugs though.

i wonder if it would reduce the sandblasting effect a little?

fwiw, i use duplicolor temporary paint and a stencil to put numbers on my car for track days. much tidier than tape numbers, and no worries about magnetic numbers flying off.
