We all know how GM's black paint doesn't like rocks, not to mention bugs, so I decided to take some preliminary precautions for my trip from FL to NJ. 3 rolls of 2 inch blue painters tape equals....





Please excuse the camera phone pictures, definately not up to par for my standards...

 

Awesome haha!!!!!!

 

hahaa
holy *****, dude

that musta taken forever...

now removing that glue once its melted onto your paint will be fun

 

lol thats awsome

 

yea the glue man!

 

Painters Tape shouldn't leave a residue.

 

Haha that's awesome...so you're back in Jersey...For how long? Maybe we should put something together so a few of us can get together

 

HAHA! What are you waiting for... do the whole car!

 

that's awsome. ppl were probably like WTF when you drove by.

 

Hey man if that was paint that actually dont look bad

 

Unless it gets rained on, then good luck getting it back off. I install vinyl graphics for a living and one of my customers, Morgan Truck Body, will sometimes leave tape behind after their done painting a truck. If it gets wet and then dries again, it's a PITA to get off.

 

I actually haven't left yet but I won't have time later this week to do this so I just had to get it done on the weekend.

I actually just bought a house in Metuchen so I'll be around for years to come. Although a gtg sounds good to me! I'm always down to meet some locals!

As for the residue....I'd rather clean that then love bugs and rock chips!

 

Oh wow.....good for you...I'm right next door so if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to contact me!

 

HAHAH I cant wait to see the after post.... "why in the hell did I do that"

 

rediculously awesome

 

haha wow nice 2 tone!

 

Dude.... now thats ******* funny... I don't care who you are.lol

I agree if that was paint it would look pretty good. Good luck with the drive

 

i saw an audi do that once. pretty funny video they made

 

awsome

 

lmfao. Guess your not the only one.

 

Hopefully it works out for you man. I was in a similar situation earlier this summer. I drove from Austin, TX up to Detroit, MI--about 1400 miles--and back. I was debating whether or not to buy one of those clear 3M masks, but I just said **** it. After all was said and done, I was really surprised at how little crap actually got on the paint. Yeah, there were a ton of bugs, but no chips to speak of. I guess I was lucky. Ditto on the guy who said don't let the tape get wet. That will be a bitch to get off if it rains, not to mention of the tape catches a gust of wind & starts to peel mid-trip.

 

I will be doing this to my car when i head down to the Linkin Park concert, cept ill be doing the whole thing!

 

pretty sweet!


hopefully you don't hit any lunker rocks that go through that tape.

goodluck!

 

The guys who did that adui were so damn funny with all the pics they took!

Im diggen your cobalt with the blue tape, you should keep it like that year round haha.

 

camera phone pix? they look damn good.
