Getting a new paint job? be sure to pick up tape

he got a paint job 3 weeks ago, but i think its a little much to put that much tape on the front of your car, i would probably be the same way tho..
VERY hot hatch...[sm=drooldude.gif]

I would totally do that if I spent that much money on a paint job.

Wasn't it on this site that someone posted the spray on protectant? It was like spray paint and you shot it onto the front of your car, then when you wanted to take it off, you could just use a car-wash high pressure hose and it came right off. I think that'd be the best way to go

Im not sure if it was on this site but i have seen that stuff at the auto parts store. I think it would be a pretty good alternative to the tape method.
