haha last pic is great, like the jigsaw for saw! lol

 

pup73 how did you get that blue tape on so nicely lol.....how many layers did you do

 

Nice tape job pup!

I plan on doing the same thing when I pick up my car in Florida and drive it back home to NC on tuesday. I think 1 roll should suffice, and the look on their face at the dealership when I start taping up my brand new car with blue tape should be pretty priceless.

 

you should have done your entire car like i did

 

That took some effort!

I taped the nose of my latest S to drive from Vegas to Tucson in January. My 73 year old aunt helped me pull it off at 1 in the morning when I arrived.

 

i dunno..i really didn't have a plan, i just started down low on the bumper and worked my way up just one layer, but i ended up with alot of overlap, if that makes sense. could have done it with just one roll, with less overlap, and less hood coverage.

also, next time, if i do the hood, i'll try more of a vertical pattern. at highway speed, the hood started to peel. plus, it rained a bit during one night. so i decided to peel the hood off and ended up with this...





still protected most of the bumper for the ride home.

(Iwantans) how long did that take?

 

The big mistake people make is that they start at the bottom instead of starting at the top and working their way down from the middle of the hood. You need to to cover up the front side of the tape so it doesn't catch air and lift.

 

I think you're mistaking me for CHR!S. I only did the front of my car plus the mirrors which took me at least an hour in a MickyD's parking lot.

 

the blue taped s2k is nice. is there a time limit that the tape can stay before it gets a bit too permanent and doesn't peel cleanly off?
