Scotch® Safe-Release™ Painters' Masking Tape

For painted surfaces and glass. This tape removes cleanly without adhesive transfer or surface damage for up to 14 days, even in direct sunlight. It is a medium adhesion tape that is ideal for painted walls and trim, woodwork, glass and metal.

clear bra is my suggestion.

I taped my whole front bumper up in the summer when I moved to denver from montana, and it didnt leave a residue and if it did leave a little it was easier to clean off well worth the 5$ investment inmo. I went all out like the lexus on mine, dont buy the "least adhesive one" as that falls off a **** ton.

HA! I will have to dig out the old photo I found a whle back of a Florida G&Z member who did the blue painters tape on his G.

He had the Punisher Skull and the Kool-Aid guy designs on it. Even taped the faces of th wheels.

Love bugs, are when the season of alot of BUGS hits your car, to prevent you mask your car off with painters tape.

That's Max. He does something fun like that for all the big events down here. Always fun to see what he'll come up with.
