Temporary Paint Protection

Does anyone know where I can find something to stick over my front bumper just for a long drive I have to take? I have seen this stuff that looks like blue tape on the front end of showcars that leave HIN for example... tia

There is a clear bra that you can get put on but it is very expensive.

Why not buy a black bra and only use it for your long drives?

no its not, its stuff they put on your care before shipping it to the dealer. Its like static cling thing and its there to prevent nicks b4 you buy the car ( the car show people use it not to ruin thier precious toys... ) a show car only earns the title show car after proven to be good at the track or etc.

I like the masking tape idea. The blue is so much nicer than the plain old white stuff too. Buy the wide stuff it helps reduce the number of unsightly seams.

this stuff works good for temporary protection.vinyl shelf liner- you can get a pretty flower pattern if you like but clear works great.
