Blue Painter's Tape?
Hi detailing guys! I'm taking my 2004 Chrysler Crossfire on a road trip from Minneapolis, MN to Seattle, WA in a few weeks and was wondering about the merits of painters tape for protecting my paint. I'm not the kind of guy that spends a lot of time washing, waxing, polishing, etc and my car does have a few rock chips already, but I'd like to avoid getting more chips if possible.
So, the question is: is painters tape a viable option to protect my car or should I just put up with the possibility of the few extra rock chips and bug guts gallore?
Side-note: If I do use painters tape, I'd likely cover my entire car so I can write messages like "Tits or GTFO" all over my car. To ricey? Or genius?

How's that help with rock chips, Hani? Or is it just for a film to protect from bugs?

When the stuff hardens it will protect the car from bugs and small stones… just like painter tape. Only it is easier to put on, take off, and does not start to fly of at speed, oh wait Alex is in a Crossfire so the speed thing is not important
Oh and Clever, sorry about dropping the ball with regards to Bahrain... things got ugly and work was really demanding

On second thought, I just found out my dad has a 200 ft roll of 3M clear-bra material lying around at the office. Looks like I'll be giving that a try.

12/2002 driving back from Kuwait to bahrain in an LC, front fully covered in soap, just as we got to Bu Hadria it started raining and the soap foamed up all the way to the wind shield, what was a 4 hour drive turned into an 11 hour headache.

Yeah, driving across the midwest, rain at some point in nearly certain.
