Racer's tape... User beware

[RandallNeighbour]

I used some bright orange racer's tape at the track this weekend for my numbers on the frunk and doors of my black Boxster. When I removed the tape on the frunk, all the residue came off easily, but the reinforced tape pattern did something odd. The paint was indented showing the pattern where the paint heated up at different temperatures.

This is permanent damage I think. I will attempt to buff it out by heating up the paint to smooth it out, but I don't hold out much hope.

Word to the wiser than me here... Use blue painter's tape and avoid my mistake.
