frame saver
Quote | Reply
Ive been using pre-cut pieces from a sheet of 3M laminted plastic squares as a frame saver. It says 300LSE on the back of the sheet, but I cant find it online anywhere. What comes up is a dual-sided adhesive.

I cant imagine Im the only one using this type of protection on their frame(s).

Any clue where I could find this particular product or does someone have success with other products? Ive seen other brands that cost 10x more than they are worth.

You can find it. You are looking for a paint protector. "Bonk" is one brand, sold at Trisports.com

You can buy the raw tape, but it's expensive. There is a place online that sells it by the foot, but I can't recall the site. Google can help. My local auto body supply shop has it in 8' lengths. 4"x8' was around $60.
