    Have a look on eBay for 3M Helicopter Tape
    The path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the devil's own satanic herd.

    Thanks is there any place that fits this? I could do it but have a fear it would go a bit Pete Tong or I would have bubbles/creases.

    How hard is it to fit? is it like window tinting vinyl in that you use a squeegee and soapy water?

    I bought some tape from this user, if its does not go on correctly then you just heat it up and reapply.

    Here is a clip of how to apply it.

    Only have some on the down tube, seat tube and for cable rub. You would be hard pressed to see it on the seat tube and it has not peeled or yellowed.
