BMW owner tapes black car to white
When a BMW 335i owner in Munich became bored with his black coupe, he hired a team to wrap it in white tape. Two days later, he drove home in his refreshed "Alpine White" coupe (with an M3-appearing black roof). No, it's not normal tape. It's a special 3M wrap, and the process is known as "foiling." Apparently, the German military has been using the process (with an olive drab tape) for some time now. Likewise, the process is popular with race teams and taxi companies. Available in countless colors, the tape itself is thick enough to protect the paint from minor chips and nicks, and it can be left adhered to the surface for 3-4 years without damage (!). Adhesion isn't a problem either, as the tape can even withstand an automatic car wash without peeling off. Thanks for the tip Frank.

I actually got a 3m square of this as a promo in the mail, looked pretty sturdy.
I'm pretty sure it would tear off at eleventy billion miles/hr.

Haha.
There was an article in Pop. Mechanics or some other magazine. Basically the idea was to deal with repaints and having the weight of the aircraft change after each re-coat and to reduce down time from eventually having to strip the aircraft of paint and starting at the bare metal. (sorry for the bad grammar)
