Default Blue painters tape on front?

Traveling from jacksonville to Tampa soon, and am already tired of the numerouse mini rock chips I have suffered. I dont have a clear bra and still havent gotten one of those leather nose masks. I have b0th heard and seen that blue painters tape put to use on nice cars, but I am skeptical.

However, I am a baby when it comes to taking care of paint, and it just doesn't seem possible that after a 3 hour drive in either Florida rain or heat that the tapewill remove easily and cleanly at the end.

Does anyone have experience using blue painters tape sparingly on parts of the hood, front bumper, and if so could you advise me if any paint/cleaning prep or precautions are necessary.

PS, I am sure there is numerous google threads about this, but I trust the judgment of you guys because you can share in the obsession we all have with this car and understand what I mean. Also, I have briliant silver if that helps any of the experts out there make a more informed suggestion

Thanks
