I searched everywhere and can't find the kind of tape that people use to prevent debris causeing chips on the front bumper and hood. Can anyone tell me what kind of tape that is???? Thanks

 

3M Scotch Blue Painters Tape. Available at your local hardware store, Lowe's, and Home Depot.

 

Thanks man!!!

 

I think your thinking of ClearBra. It's not tape but more like a clear vinyl.

Hope that's what your lookin for.

 

naw its the blue painters tape that 2fast4you mentioned thanks though

 

please be joking

 

he is just looking for a temporary fix.

duplicolor also makes a product that does the same thing.

(The 3M blue painters tape is also available in 2" wide rolls - makes it a lot easier than the little narrow rolls...)

 

what is the point of taping up the front?

i see people do it when they go to shows or the track, but its no different than every day driving right?

 

the tape also catches all the bugs and rocks that would hit your paint, ie. when you take the tape off you have a **** load of bugs in it, and the occasional rip from rocks. if you just detailed your car for a show this is a great idea to prevent your front end from getting all f*cked up from the road.

 

This is the only reason I could fathom as to why somebody would use painter's tape. If it's for something else, I'm stumped.

 

It's pretty common to use it for a long run to a show around here to keep a detailed car looking decent with the least amont of work and time on arrival. Just peal off the layer of bugs with the tape, polish up the wax a bit and Voila! bug-free, chipless paint. :D
