Magnetic Armour & Tape
 

To protect my Victory Red H3 before wheeling through the brush, I put on my pre-cut, red, magnetic vinyl sheeting. It protects everything metal, and the red vinyl matches the truck very well. I bought the Vinyl magnetic sheeting from magnet king. I prep the truck at home, and drive 20 miles or more to the trailheads, and the magnets do not shift at all.
I use blue painters tape to cover the fenders, and other various pieces.
HERE IS MY QUESTION. i am trying to find a RED painters tape, with the same adhesion qualities as the blue, but no Such thing exists. The truck looks goofy covered in the blue tape on the freeway. I need to find a 2" wide red tape that will not leave residue on the fenders when removed. Any ideas anyone ?????.
By the way, the magnet & tape WORK GREAT. I wheeled yesterday, and drove the truck through brutal brush for 9 miles on a trail. NOT A MARK.

Hurricane tape????

Re: Magnetic Armour & Tape
 

Get some Frost King tape, it's clear... the next best thing. It's what I use and many other people I know use.

MUD,

Check the inside core of the tape to see who made it and google for additional info/color choices.

For those of you not familiar with Blue Painters Tape

IT LEAVES NO STICKY RESIDUE WHEN YOU REMOVE IT LIKE MANY OTHER TAPES.

Good luck...

did you just buy a roll of magnetic tape and cut it out? Im about to do this now.

Re: Magnetic Armour & Tape
 

Yes. I have a Victory Red H3, and got a roll of 10' x 24". Not nearly enough. Just did one side. I am ordering a roll of 25' x 24", and starting from scratch again. I learn't the hard way. I did the passenger doors, no problems, it cuts easily. I then did strips on all the other places. BAD MOVE. I am going to make a template for the upper doors, and cut out the magnet to the template. The only things I will need to tape will be the fiberglass fenders, and side of rear lights. I will tape the edges of the magnets when finished, so NO Victory red is showing at all.
I just went on a run this weekend as kind of a shake down run through the brush, and learn't a lot. DO NOT BE SCARED TO COVER EVERY LAST BIT ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I used 3" painters tape on the fenders,a nd it started to tear it off. i am still going to use painters tape on the fenders, but I am going to put red stucco tape on top. I just tried it in my driveway, and it really adds strenth to the tape. The blue painters tape does not leave any residue that cannot be cleaned off with a damp cloth. Make sure you truck is clean before putting the armour on. I always travel with a buddy, and he has a beat upi 1970 blazer that will go anywhere. Pinstriping is not a problem to his rig. After the trip we just went on, he called me next day, gushing about the trail damage to his rig, hoping I would be in tears about the H3 being scratched, but thankfully, not a scratch. The magnetic vinyl does a great job. maybe I should creat a company and make magnetic car coats ?????

The only thing id be worried about sticking those magnetic covers on my car is if they shifted wouldnt they scratch the paint???

Re: Magnetic Armour & Tape
 

I tape the edges, which it does not need. They do not move. The brush I went thru at the weekend was proof positive.
