Your right and I should have followed through with a little more detail but was in a hurry. On he inside of the wheel well lips, I wasn't really worried about paint cause it gets beat up anyway. However, one of the other guys at the track put me on to Gaffer's Tape. It's about 8 bucks a roll, comes in assorted colors and will not damage the paint whatsoever. It's actually used in the theatricle industry for stage applications. It works really well in our applications too, with no residual glue. I can wrap from the inside lip to the outside of the quarter panel without worrying about paint damage, not that i worry that much anyway. I gave up micro managing paint chips on my car when I realized on I wanted to have fun too, if you know what I mean. Thanks for the comments.
