as with ALL tapes, don't leave it on too long. you'll be fine. i'm glad to hear you aren't running a bra, or as i like to call them, DA sanders!

Have you looked into vinyl? A few years back a guy bought some vinyl sticker type stuff to cover his front bumper on his 300zx so he could drive from Norcal to Socal for a car show. As i remember it was the same type of stuff a dealer takes off a car prior to putting it on the showroom floor.

I can simpathize with you. I've had the same problem before. You bump and bump, but get no answers. It's fusterating, especially when you know which members could possible answer your question. I usually end up PM'ing them with the link....

I'll cut you some slack, this time....

Painter's tape won't harm the paint, but I think it's point less to tape the car for a road trip.

Someone mentioned taping the car for a drive from cali to vegas which is something I would never consider.

I think you might mean liberal as in a "liberal amount"

Ok, my trip is over and I have to say it was pointless to tape the car. One hour into the drive it started peeling off and I had to stop and take it off.
