So I'm putting together a rally for animals in Miami for Sept

Was thinking of wrapping 1 of the cars then I thought of wrapping the GT up in a tiger print but its already white & blue so WHITE TIGER print :) I think its awesome

Would putting blue duct tape on the car for a day hurt the paint ? Any chance of the paint peeling off w the tape ?

Think I'll need some help as it will be rather time consuming

Don't use duct tape. Use painters tape. Duct tape is for wrapping suit cases when traveling, and bandaging open wounds.

Makes sense, does Painters tape stay on at 80 mph ?

Dont want it to look like the Tiger that lost the fight LOL

I've had it stay on at double that speed.

Hubbster,

Go to racerstape.com and they have duct tape made to use on cars in dozens of colors. I've used it about ten times for track days and Mile events and it does not hurt paint or vinyl stripes.

Great idea! I'd like to see how it turns out. Please post pictures. Thanks.

80mph is for the sake of any LEO's snooping in the site :)

I would go with Chips idea. I had forgotten that he uses that with great results. More colors and more durable.
