Typed in the search term "bike cover" into my nifty Google browser bar and here's a sample of the links:

The only bike covers I`ve ever seen are intended to shelter a stationary bike from the elements. If you`re looking to protect your bikes while on an exterior car rack or trailer I doubt they`d be suitable. The covers are so lightweight that the wind forces at highway speeds would rip them to shreds.
You might have better luck looking at a cover for a small motorcycle and even then it would have to be well secured.

I bought one that is supposed to cover over two bikes on the back of a car. Pretty durable with clear-ish portions where tail-lights might be. I'll go through my records and see if I have the make and model. Pretty sure I got it through Amazon after doing a search for "bicycle cover".
EDIT: Found it with a search!

It's made out of a really quite tough material. There are zippers at each end for ease of getting it on/off or fitting something longer under it. It's also got outlets in it for handlebars to stick out for one of the bikes.

I haven't used ours behind a car yet, but it is quite stiff, mostly holding its shape when over a bike. It really only comes in contact with the seat, ends of the handle bars and the tires/fenders. I wouldn't worry about the paint of our bikes at all with it.
