Just had a quick thought when fitting some helicopter tape onto my bike.
I've already fitted lizard skins, but wouldn't helicopter tape be the perfect solution? It's clear, stays in place and it can be shaped and fitted in any way you want, all while being smooth and tough enough for anything it touches to be protected and glide off.
I've a few meters of the stuff after my mountain biking days I could even do some deals for people wanting to buy some. At £16 a meter ( 150mm wide ) on ebay I could do 150mmx150mm for £2.50 sent or similar.

Normally associated with mountain bikes - try a cycling store in the first instance, same with the Lizard Skins - might be non-brand "chainstay protectors" rather than "Lizard Skins"
