Masking front end with "BLUE TAPE"

Does it really work well.? How much is needed.? Does it come off easy? Any damage from it..!

My truck is being used this weekend and I am goin on a camping trip. I would hate to go on this trip and scratch the he'll out of my freshly painted Kuruma.. He'll. I may just have to rent a car.!!

just "blue" isnt what you need

make sure it says automotive or paint

there are many colors and blue is one of them

It comes off easy with no mess or sticky residue.

We mask off cars fronts ends (and tops of roofs) when we transport them back to customers on a trailer. We just use our average automotive 3m, I've got some green, blue, orange, black... we had pink but it wasn't 3m.

Comes off easy and protects the **** out of the paint, we had the truck kick a rock back into a freshly painted Rx8 and it peeled the tape but didn't touch the paint what so ever!

Do you make your kids take off their shoes to get in your car to protect the rugs. Do you not drive it on the highway because of bugs and little rocks. I could understand a show vehicle, but its a dd.

If I remember correctly, I think someone tried the roadwrap and said it was no good.

Front end just got repaint. But even though it's a daily, doesn't mean u shouldn't take precautions on the appearance. I mean. U wash ur car right.? Why wash it if it's gunna get dirty ??

I show my car ...









To myself..
