It could have been my application but I was very disappointed in its performance. I spent more than two hours cleaning/ prepping the nose and applying trak tape. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out, at least initially.
20 min or so after I got on the highway I pulled off to check things and wound up replacing about 20% of the trak tape with blue painters tape where it had not held. A half hour later, I had to replace some more.
Trak tape is cleaner looking than painters tape, but I was not able to get it to stay on on some surfaces.
If you elect to use it, make sure you have a sharp scissors and possibly a razor knife with you. Might want to bring some blue tape with you as well ;^(

Thanks for the tip. I've actually never used it before. I guess I'll try to prep the surface first with some 25% alcohol solution.
