Just wondering how to prevent rock chips in the paint and I thought the 3M film that new cars use on the front of the hood or lower body panels.

My concern is, let’s say the film is long enough to reach end to end of the wing, but it’s only going to be for/aft a certain amount of inches. Would the transition point of where the tape ends cause any air disturbances to the wing that would cause any problems??
