Okay, I plan on driving up to Sonoma tomorrow to go to Infineon Raceway, and of course, there's going to be an all out war of me vs the road. I JUST got my car back, and it's nice and painted along with a new hood and bumper, and I don't want rock chips! I was thinking of buying blue painters tape, how much do I need?

My front end looks just like that, I have the same hood and bumper. Also, up to where should I cover the car? Thanks!



[EDIT]



Oh yeah, what about damage? I heard it's not supposed to, but is there anything I should do to the car before applying it? Remember, I JUST took delivery of my car today, so it's fresh paint.
 
Well I know it's safe, but my biggest concern is the fact that my paint is so fresh. I just called up my body shop, he said they cure the paint pretty good, but he said it's probably not a good idea because I wanna let the solvents out or whatever.
 
Well I think I'm going to take my body shop's advice and not tape it because you're supposed to let it fully cure for thirty days before you cover it up or anything, so I guess I'll just have to drive careful and pick who to drive behind and who not to drive behind.
 
Well, I drove carefully, and I raced the car at the drag races, I had a blast! I have NO rock chips, but it is full of bugs and dust :(. What would you guys recommend to clean them off, keeping in mind it's brand new paint?
