Wow. Do you guys wrap your tv remote controls and sofas in saran wrap too? This is akin to covering the carpet in your home with plastic runners.

ah ha !.. this looks like what I need..

I am not usually this crazy about rock chips... but since the ride was repainted and i am looking at the bumper, hood, fenders.. and all i see is perfection.. i wanna preserve it for next summer..

This road wrap is temporary and is just what i need for the Canada trip...

hmmm....

thanks AwesomeM3.....

NO DO NOT PUT THE WRAP ON IT.
Your paint needs to cure. Regardless of curing or not. there is a possibility even on fully cured paint that if you put film on and them REMOVE IT, you RISK the possibility of LIFTING YOUR PAINT.

I would either just drive it with painters tape..... or just drive it without.
Are you planning to to not drive it when you get back home since the car is all nice and shiney and fresh..

It's just a car...either rent something you would feel comfortable with on the road or just drive it....
