IMO the only type of bra is the clear vinyl kind. I had it installed then did the CQuartz over the entire car.

When you say bra, are you referring to the old style removable bra or a clear film? Just want to be sure we are on the same page.

On my truck, I did a full clear XPEL film or I should say Greg Gellas at Signature Detailing did. He is also a CQUARTZ Finest installer.
My wife's car has half of her hood done and , looking back now, I would have done the whole hood.
If you plan on removing the bra, remove the old one, decon and correct, then apply the film. Then if you want to apply the CQ after the film is on. I'm not sure about the spray on type but I would try it without the coating. Besides, the spray film will need time to cure. Also, check with the spray films manufacturer to see what they recommend.
Do you plan on doing this yourself or have a professional do it? If you have a pro do it, I would consult them. Also not sure of your budgetary concerns so that is another piece of the puzzle.
I did the film due to the amount of interstate driving we do. Let's just say lesson learned from previous vehicles.
