Default peelable paint

Soooo, I was thinking since I probably wont be putting fender flairs on this summer, I'm thinking of maybe using that rattle can spray peelable paint on my doors, still red of course. all the wheeling I did with redmuck 1, ruined my doors, from throwing up dirt and rocks and mud at them. any thoughts? comments, sarcasm?

The guy that owned my jeep before me actually did something pretty smart. He stuck on this thin clear plastic to my lower doors that is invisible until you are right against it. Somehow it has kept my lower doors pristine! Its almost like a glass screen protector for a phone.

I just vinyl wrapped a drone it's not hard. Just cut to size, clean and put on like a giant sticker or screen protector.

I'd check amazon I got it for $10 and put it on myself... I don't know how far up you're going on your doors, but you make have to do a couple strips on. The door but you wouldn't even be able to tell it wasn't one piece.
