What is the best painters blue tape for taping up the front of the car for road trips? Also can i get this anywhere like Walmart? Do they sell anything else similar to painters tape at a part store for this? Just want to make sure i get the right tape for doing this.

 

Scotch brand is usually the best and i always get it at Home Depot. Its pretty cheap there. It comes in several sizes but the 2" wide is the easiest to cover large areas with.

 

the 3m brand stuff will say its good for 30 days, I think wal-mart is the cheapest

 

walmart, home depot, etc. all sell blue painters tape. 3m makes it and make sure you look at the adhesive ratings. Go for the medium adhesive rating and you should be fine.

 

clear bra FTW....

 

Every time I use 3m blue painters tape on my car it eats the clearcoat. Which I find odd.

 

I point and laugh @ people with tape on thier car. Its about as silly as trailoring a car.

 

im lost. why exactly do people tape up the front of their cars for road trips?

 

To prevent rock chips when traveling long distances on the interstate.

 

oh. lol. id rather just buy a bra for the front end and just use that everytime i went on a road trip.
