Fortunately, the window only suffered a very small nick which didn't require any fix. To those who are going to use painters tape; make sure not to wrap the windows!!!

i plan on doing at least half my hood, half fenders, possibly mirrors, and possibly fender flare corners (rockers) where rocks may kick out.

Depends on how thick the tape is. You'll probably need to double up for maximum protection, and you'll need several rolls. Start at the back and work your way forward so that air can't get underneath the leading edge of the tape and rip it off.

You're lucky, your car is almost that color blue so no one will hardly notice.

welcome lol and like what steve said it better to go back to front so the air doesnt rip it off.

Mr&Mrs · 02-06-2013, 09:08 AM
