duck tape ?
« on: September 29, 2012, 05:58:05 PM »
If I put duck tape on the tail unit, where the zx10r stickers are, to protect against scuffing, will it lift the stickers when I remove the tape ?   :icon_scratch:
                                                               Cheers

Probably, unless you risk heating the duck tape before removing it. You can buy clear 'bodywork protection' stickers which may  be better.

You could lay a small piece of decorators masking tape over the stickers first to help. duct tape is a risk though...

I've put duck tape over the back of my bikes to protect the paint when I've had luggage on and never had a problem with it pulling decals off.

Masking tape can be difficult to get off if it gets wet and then dries again.

Buy some 3m clear protective film off ebay. Easy to remove and tough as fook.

The best way to do it is smear a thin layer of Vaseline over the stickers first  :icon_thumright:
