Painters Tape

[Maxxdsix]

Alright, well for the OCC meet which is 200+ miles away from me on sat, i taped up the front half of my car.

I did the entire front end, and the hood is CF but you obviously cant tell from looking in these pics.

I have school tom and i leave for OCC sat at like 3am, should i be able to drive to school and park my car in a spot that potentialy has direct sun light for like 7 hours?

and btw. post your pics of your tape jobs. and if you have any ideas for me as far as designs etc. go just let me know, ive got plenty of tape and time left.

it should have some sort of rating for "clean removal" or something like that...

as we went we added mileage and different little things from each place or stop that we made. it was a cool little tradition to keep things interesting.

nice, no problems taking it off?

Write backwards on your hood "MOVE OVER."

Im thinking about having that permanently sprayed on my bumper. :lol:

[djb5118]

nope. it was about a week long road trip, so by the end rain and wind had taken its toll, only helping the removal.

if you are concerned though you can get the "delicate" type blue tape, but it might cost a bit more

[420sx]

Dollar store blue tape is incredibly delicate. Sometimes its not sticky enough though.

[lownslow95]

All that work and you didn't even get the grille?

[Maxxdsix]

The grille is a pita lol, and its getting replaced soon anyway.


And yea I'm doin revo evom tonight, just didn't want the parents to see that one lol

[lownslow95]

Nope, and id rather not get chips in my brand new cf hood on my 400 mile trip...i know it will happen eventualy, but the chances of doing it in a 400 mile trip straight shot are alot worse

[i_ride_fieroGT]

I'm with you! I drove down to OCMD 2 years ago with a fresh paint job. When is the last time you saw a Ferrari taped up or Classic Car? The Bra on the VW was fine it was the tape that lost me. Some of these fads are too much! Can someone explain the Tree Airfreshner on the tow hook to me? Saw A WRX with one today.

so gay thats all i got to say sorry

[Maxxdsix]

It turns thousands of heads, thats whats up with it.

Everyone who drove/walked by says what the **** and stares. The reaction is priceless.

Thats half the reason I did it,

frankly I couldnt give 2 ****s if you think its gay.

Big fan of negative attention eh? Guaranteed no one looked at it and thought "OMG THAT DOOD IZ SO KEWL WITH TAPE ALL OVER HIS CAR!!!"

[knochgoon24]

My hood has about 155 chips in it. That's after 238,000 miles of driving. I went and used touch up paint on them all because a few were rusting, it's not just like I went out and counted. That's about 1,500 miles per chip. I think most of it happened at once though. The windshield also has 8 small chips.

[enigma]

Maybe you should have used blue tape on your windshield then.
