silver chainstay protectors

Thanks, but I've already seen those - I'm looking for a plain chrome one with no writing on it. Someone must have a stash of them somewhere!
Since posting I read somewhere that chrome/alu effect sticky-back plastic might work... I'll be using clear plastic to cover the whole stay first, but want a chrome or silver protector on top of that for the finishing touch.

Chainstay Protection.
Motorycle accessory shops used to sell a clear plastic film for protecting the tank etc.
You can buy in A4 sheets for about £5...it's thin enough to be almost undetectable and thick enough to protect your paint.
I've used it for years.
You mention the shiny thin (self adhesive) stainless steel ones; I have used these too and have about 3 or 4 in my stock - when you find a good product buy a few...that's my motto.

I found this:

I think it should work, but it might not be as tough as the real thing.

Andy,
I looked for one for a long time before i got one on ebay - it was a one-off and the glue had degraded but will suit my purposes. For my wife's mixte i went the DIY route - using the chrome sheet from ebay - oddly i have no pics of doing it but i did a little measuring and then carefully cut out a shape which i thought fitted. It worked well enough although there is a very small crease on the BB end - not sure if the pics show it.
