Carbon frame protection
I just got a used frame, and I noticed that the clear sticker on chainstay is peeling off.
And there is another patch next to RD hungger.
Do you know where I can get the replacement stickers and where do they go on the frame?

There are a lot of different versions of the same thing: Lizard Skins Clear Skin Road Chainstay Protector | Competitive Cyclist
You can put the small squares anywhere a cable touches your frame.

I use the stuff that they put on cars:
VentureShield? paint protection film
Usually costs $300 to wrap a bumper in this. You can buy smaller rolls on Ebay. I bought a 16"x3' roll for like $15.

This is what I found:
Amazon.com: 3M Scotch Transparent Duct Tape, 1.88-Inch by 20-Yard (2120-A): Office Products
I will check Home Depot, but it looks it might work.

This is what I ordered:
Amazon.com: XPEL Clear Universal Door Sill Guard (60" x 2.75") Paint Protection Film Kit: Automotive
The XPEL film is similar to 3M, but some reviews says the 3M will turn yellow and XPEL will not. That is exactly the problem I have on the frame I just bought from someone.
You can see the yellow protection film next to the elbow:
"My eye doctor said I need a "new frame." I think I got it right. I told my wife this is just what the doctor ordered."
