The nose, What I have done is.
Goto a store that sells tv's and ask for a tv box. or a florist. you want a box long and narrow, tv box you will cut down to size.
Then wax paper the painted part of the fender door jam edge to 5-6" toward front.
put box over back end of fender and spray expanding foam in boxwith 1" air gap between box bottom and fender door jam end of fender. foam expands, now remove the painters tape off the painted surface of the fender that was holding wax paper. don't leave the tap on the painted surface.
now when you stand the nos up. it is sitting on a cardboard box and foam. less likely to damage the fender edge and paint. And it is cheap. wax paper in kitchen, box free from where ever, and a 5 dollar can of spray foam.
