When a BMW 335i owner in Munich became bored with his black coupe, he hired a team to wrap it in white tape. Two days later, he drove home in his refreshed "Alpine White" coupe (with an M3-appearing black roof). No, it's not normal tape. It's a special 3M wrap, and the process is known as "foiling." Apparently, the German military has been using the process (with an olive drab tape) for some time now. Likewise, the process is popular with race teams and taxi companies. Available in countless colors, the tape itself is thick enough to protect the paint from minor chips and nicks, and it can be left adhered to the surface for 3-4 years without damage (!). Adhesion isn't a problem either, as the tape can even withstand an automatic car wash without peeling off. Thanks for the tip Frank.

Truly an excellent product for criminals. After robbing the bank the robbers can wrap their black getaway car in white tape!

i remember seeing something about this tape for the rally cars.. would be sweet to get some clear tape for a nicely painted daily driver.. or for the beeeeeg reeeeg!! cant really judge by the photos .. but i imagine that the gloss on that might not be the same.. still cool..

Kinda reminds me of Cannonball Run where the chicks are driving the Lamborghini Countach that was white and after they get into pursuit, they wash the paint off and it's red.
