The 3434 blue tape is very sticky beef....I would avoid using it on fresh paint, would be better with normal masking tape but what ever you use do not leave it on for too long or get it wet..

blue tape is the best tape you can use on your car mate i use it every day
when detailing cars (it dont stick to the car like cheap tape) it sticks just nice and comes off just as easy you can leave it on for days even in the rain and it wont bond on to your car like normal masking tape do and yes it can be used on freshly painted cars as it wont damage your paint

Clean your Car stock it.
Its fairly sticky but easy to de-tack just stick it to your sleave 1st it takes some of the stickyness out of it.
