front end paint protection

I am about to go on a 3500 mile trip, was wondering if anyone covered up there front ends with anything like electrical tape, to use as a bug shield?

 

I’ve seen people use painters tape. Might want to give that a try

Thanks.

 

I used it last trip in my car, worked great but it takes a lot of time putting it on, was just wondering if anyone had other suggestions. thanks for the input tho.

 

The other thing I have always wondered if it would work on our trucks temporary for trips. Surface Shield self adhesive film 24" x 50' roll at Home Depot is only $11.47. I have used it on construction site on carpet and other hard floors. Thought about testing it on my hunting/fishing Jeep XJ to see if any harm to paint, shouldn't but never know.

 

I'm heading up to cabin later this week, for a week of Trout fishing. I'll give it a try, I'll be running down logging trails and through woods to rivers in the U.P. It will give it a good test. I'll post here with results.

 

Youre in Wisconsin? that's actually where im headed on my vacation.

 

Yes, on the St. Croix river just east of St. Paul MN. Have a log home in the U.P. just north of the WI/MI border. Where you headed to in WI?

 

My parents house, they live just south of Sheboygan, in the town of Wilson. I am from West Bend, but live in Orlando now.

 

I grew up in a sub of Milw, lived in Pewaukee 15yrs. Then moved business 12yrs ago closer to MSP.

 

I hate the cold, I left a long time ago

 

Next truck I buy is getting a giant clear plastic sticker or something. My 2016 front end is already toast.

 

Mine is a week old, 4 rock chips already, I really shouldn't be that pissed about it, because in another year I wont care, but damn, too soon!
