I know, just buy a trailer and tow your car to it's destination. Why take the risk?

Drive Colorado to NY, and back with the Blue Tape. Worked great!!!! It's made to protect paint, so how could it harm it? It rained, snowed, and was sunny. No problems. Best 10 bucks I've ever spent to protect my car.

Jonas's car was all taped up a while ago too. It looked crazy sick. The tape won't do anything to your paint. I've been rockin painters tape to keep my bumper on for almost a year
