When using the P clamps, I like to use the one that’s slightly larger than the diameter of the part of the bike I'm clamping to. Then wrap the spot with a few turns of rubber cut from a scrap inner tube and held with a thin strip of electrical tape. The rubber will protect the paint better than the coating on the clamp and help as a shock mount also.
