Question Any way to duplicate factory gravel guard?

Is there a product or products that will duplicate the gravel guard that the Grand Nationals came with from the factory?

I heard that body shops can do it, I personally had mine all removed when I repainted my 87 GN, and will do the same when I repaint my others.

2 ways that I've used.
1. There's a product used by the truck guys that you cut and peel and put on.
2. There's a spray on. Can be put on after the paint, or can be obtained in a paintable form, and be painted over.
I never found much use in the "paint over" idea. I spray it on AFTER I paint. Afterall, that's pretty much the idea behind using the product to begin with: "Protecting the paint".
Most automotive paint stores carry it in spray bombs.
