Default Help a shell in need

ok guys.....so you have your nice new shell and you want it to keep nice and undamaged the best you can.

anyone recommend a tape or film or something to stick over the paint on the inside (that wont pull the paint off) to stop it getting killed after a couple of meetings????

nitro blocker, seals the paint, and stops it being rubbed off, any tape you do use will start to pull after a while. Only down side of nitro blocker is you can't stick anything on it afterwards.
