will the tape residue be bad for the paint at all? how long can you leave the tape on the paint for? or are the painter tapes nice and clean

I honestly don't think a long distance trip gives you any more rock chips than daily commutes on the highways....

i had it on for 5 days and it peeled off really easy

there wasn't much residue
nothing a wash won't take care of

I tape mine for autocross. It keeps the black lines off the car when I hit the cones

which is often.) That extra wide blue painter's tape works well until it gets wet; then it comes off.
