Front-End Protection Question

[MikeW]

For those of you that have used to "Blue Painter's Tape Method"; does it have to be the Blue Painter's Tape? Did you run into any issues with it sticking or messing up paint/clearcoat? Did it work as far as preventing bug guts, etc from sticking?

[Gemini]

you need painters tape that doesnt leave residue behind. Normally thats the blue type but check packaging on ther kinds and see.

[DJ metadelic]

how about the transparent stick-on stuff? try looking for some of that mike.

I use condoms for front end protection. I haven't had to worry about rear end protection. As long as nobody finds the dead hookers in my back yard, I never will.

Har Har Mike.

Noah, what do you speak of?

Im taking a trip to OK next week and i wanna try out this method to see if it helps protect against bugs, road debris, etc.

Duse, you can use any tape you want but I recommend the blue painters tape because they are made to not leave behing any residue. If you wanna cheap out for the plain white kind then you might be stuff cleaning glue residue. Its up to you.

[MikeW]

If i do it, ill definitely use the blue painters tape. I just didnt know if anyone ran into any issues with residue anyway. As long as there's no long-term damage, ill be ok.

Just get a full bra and put in on for long trips

[deevergote]

When the bra comes off... that's when you need the condoms.

[MikeW]

I dont think i could get a full bra and have it delivered and on in time.

You can get some clear 3m protection film. The only downside is it has a slight yellow tint to it. But can't really tell till' you're like a foot from it.

the lebra that i ordered off ebay came in a couple days. painter's tape is hella expensive...like 5+ a roll.

If you're talking temporary then yeah the blue tape. If you mean more long term then I'd say try the 3M roll on stuff.


You keep mentioning going to OK. You have a woman on the side down there?

[Night Wolf]

get a bra lol

they go for about 40-50$

there's a thing called clear bra, It is made from lamin-x and its custom fit to each vehicle and you cant tell its there. Its worth it if you want to protect the paint.
