Road trip!

[StiEtr]

Driving from Texas to Georgia on the 24th. I will be taking the cobra and was wondering if there is anything I should do to prepare. Can I tape the front end to avoid rock chips? Will the tape hurt the paint if I use painters tape? If I can how many layers should I use.

Also I will be taking I20 if anyone wants to hang out and get some food along the way.

Get some clear plasti-dip or some clear racing tape for the rock chips.

Does it come off clean when you remove it?

How much will one roll cover?

It will help if you avoid driving behind trucks, especially big rigs, as much as possible. I did this routinely and the front end of my '03 Cobra looked showroom new when I sold it. And that was with a few trips from CT to central PA, NY, ME, NH, NJ. I know your trip is longer, but this will help.

Thanks man I will be sure to do that. I believe you know this car. A guy named Mark owned it. He lived in Maryland.

I use it during autocross days. We're out there for HOURS and it always peels off clean. It designed to do that though. It does cling really well too. I always cover sections on my front bumper, ends of the rocker panels, and behind the rear tires. I have done 2 events with the tape and I'll probably have to skimp a bit to make the rest of the roll last another event. I don't layer the tape either, as it's quite thick.

Do you know his last name, and do you have any pics of your car you can post?

No on the last name. I can check when I get home. Car was tuned by Herman years ago. Used to have black FR500's here is a shot now.

He has a red/silver GT500 now.

Get green or blue painters tape. 1 layer. works great! You can find it at any local auto parts store.

Thanks man I was looking for a cheap way. Although I do like that race tape.

 

[getTwisted]

no problem, that picture was taken in the middle of the tape job so it looks kind of sloppy here. Worked like a charm though, and best of all no left over residue.

There is the route. I will be leaving Sunday and hope to see some cobras along the way.

I did try that on my lightning. It came out like poop and was a PITA to get it all off. I'm to the point where I'm just going to run naked down the highway.
