Painters tape and rain

This question is for those of you that also use painters tape for long trips. . . .

What happens if it rains? Does the tape hold?

heh, here's my car :-P

but yeah, long trips to shows. all the bugs are on the tape, so once you get there, rip the tape off, and wipe off the tape residue w/ a quick detailer and a towel and your golden.
