[TR] Covering a newly painted car

[Joe Curry]

The only thing I can think of that will do what you want is that shrink wrap
stuff that they put on new cars and boats for transport.  I have no idea
where you can get your hands on that stuff.

Thanks to all who replied.  Unanimous to put no cover on the car.  I'm going

to get bids on having the car shipped.  If that can't be arranged, I'll
build a rock barrier at the front of the trailer and hope for the best.  My
truck has mudflaps and I'll just keep my distance from other vehicles, best
I can.

An enclosed trailer is not an option, as I have one tow vehicle and own the
flatbed trailer, and we're moving from Nevada to New Mexico.

Thanks again.

Cliff

Subject: [TR] Covering a newly painted car

I will pick up a freshly painted body on a rolling chassis next week and
have
to haul it on an open trailer 600 miles.  I would like to cover the car to
avoid gravel impacts or other damage during the drive.  Any suggestions?  I
donbt have a snug-fitting car cover.  An acquaintance suggested buying a
roll of 6mil plastic and wrapping the car with that, secured by duct tape on
the plastic.

Thanks for any help,

Cliff
