as long as you wax real good you can use the blue, if you can find the green it has low addhesive and use the 2 inch wide not the 1. good luck. have a safe trip.

i use blue tape on mine when i have time to tape it up before i go somewhere

Pwnstar · 03-31-2009, 11:15 PM

ok so if i use the blue its not gonna be like ripping off my paint when i take it off if i dont wax it good enough if it leaves some glue on there what would be the best to take it off?

EDIT: and also dose anyone have a pic or can link me to a post where somone taped up there ride so i know where the best places are to tape it up and what should i use over the lights anything ? or just leave them

it peels right off, no residue left over, no problems

i ran out of tape for the grill lol. and i dont tape up the whole hood anymore

MR SI 860 · 03-31-2009, 11:35 PM

That looks crazy lol not to mention time consuming!

This is Interesting, Why do you guys do this? rock chips from transports?

R18Mug06 · 03-31-2009, 11:44 PM

Autozone also has a spray on Bra protecter for trips like that. 1st time i took a trip to LI i came back with a dent in my hood from a rock

paint on these suck. when i dont do it on long trips i get mad rock chips. i already use touch up paint almost every time i wash my car. probably wait a yr and respray the front end if its gets entirely too bad.

but it is worth the time, i can tape up the front(half hood, fender, bumper) in like 20 mins. its not that bad. first time i did it it took forever but was clean as ****

2 cans to be safe. and i would recommend taping up and outline on the fenders and hood and tape over the headlights for a cleaner paint job. and cover anything u dont want painted even if it does just wash off. will look a lot better

Pwnstar · 04-01-2009, 01:33 AM

ok yea now my only problem is finding the stuff lol i looked at wal-mart dident think thay would have it but i even checked auto zone online and it says thay dont carry it either and advanced auto dosent carry it lol anyone know where to get the stuff at like NOW or i mean in the morning lol becouse i cant wait to order it offline.

R18Mug06 · 04-01-2009, 11:34 AM
