High School Parade
Been asked to put my 2014 in a High School parade. Will need to put a paper sign on both doors. What is the best way to do that without damaging the paint. Magnets or tape? Other? Thanks, George

Green painter's tape. It is for a car finish.
When I do parades, they supply a plastic "cling" type of signage. I would imagine it is expensive to do that and a HS would elect to use paper.

Done dozens of parades. We use the clear 3M tape you buy for sealing boxes. If you are careful not really hard to take off afterwards. It also will hold the sign on if the wind is blowing. It does not hurt the painted surfaces of a corvette.

I have wrapped some felt cloth (can match colors) around my doors and either taped the cardboard sign to the felt or used ribbon over the felt to tie the cardboard. This gives a soft protection to your doors.

I just did my first parade last week and the signs were made of poster board. We used a hole punch to punch a hole in each corner then used small suction cups with hooks on them in each corner of the sign. Worked great and no scratches or tape to remove.
