Some of you guys/girls have been doing this for years and have learned some cool tricks. Help us out...

Here's one to start the ball rolling:

The end of a swinging Kryponite chain can kill your paint job. I pulled the cloth back to expose four links and dipped them in liquid rubber. (You can buy it at a hardware store or Home Cheapo. They make it to dip tool handles.)

Let the chain hang (OUTSIDE) till dry then do other side.
