    Clear tape to protect paint
    « on: February 12, 2013 - 04:42:18 PM »
    Has anyone used a clear adhesive tape to protect their paint from stone chips. We use a corse grade of stone chip on our roads in NZ and I want to protect the paint on the rocker panel and the bottom of the front and rear quarter guards.
     Any info on brands, width of tape used , etc would be much appreciated.
    Thanks, tony.

    Tony, 3M makes the product you're looking for and I see it used a lot for the very purposes you mention. It isn't cheap and I routinely see prices of $5-700 to do the frt bmpr/hood and fndr frt edges. That includes the 2-3 hrs it takes the guy to install it. Sorry I don't know the product name/number, but Google should come up with something. Hope that helps.  :thumbsup:
    PS- one of the members on here makes stripe kits and I bet he could hook you up

    My Corvette buddy swears by the 3M clear bra.  He has the whole front of the car and behind each wheel covered.
