How to stop PAINT CHIPS...Pics from my Drvie back!!!
 
Hey guys, ive owned my evo for about two months now and just realized i never posted these sweet pics. I bought the car used in N.C. and had a long drive home to st. charles IL, about 40 miles west of Chicago. Well i was paranoid of paint chips and after spending tons of money on a car, who the hell wants paint chips? So this was my defense, ive got better ones to come but these are still awesome. There is 3 rolls of painters tape on this car, and all of this equals no paint chips on the drive back through the mountains! Hope you like them, i think there pretty funny!!!!!:lol:

so do you never drive your car once you get to your destination?

After the fiest pic I thought, how did he think of doing this? to know there is two people who have done this suprises me. It is a good idea, but I would just rather enjoy driving the car. I am going on the trip to Myrtle Beach from PA and I will be driving paint first. I feel that if it is that much of a priority I can just get it re-painted.

Theres a spray now that you can apply, I forget who makes it. It comes off with a power washer.

blackbichGSX Jan 21, 2007 07:02 PM

The spray would sound more like my style. All that tape, holy God!

You cant enjoy driving if your car is covered in tape?
