Helicopter Tape 3M

[BBN]

Who knows where I can buy 3M Helicopter Tape, protective polyurethane tape, or similar for protectcing the paintwork on my bike and bits?

I bought some from a motorbike shop in the Builders Warehouse centre on Hendrick Potgieter

If what you are talking about is clear vinyl tape, you can pick the stuff up by the metre from motorcycle accessory shops ie Full Throttle or Mosskays.

Thanks guys, will have a look.

... for protectcing the paintwork on my (bike and) bits?

 

Sportmans Warehouse cricket department - I think you ask for a "box". Why'd you paint them anyway?

Any VPS fitment centre will sell you the stuff.

How much does it cost per metre?

3M PU tape is VERY expensive... rather get scotch guard tape... I paid over R400 for 1m x 30cm... I won't get it again... BUT... it IS very tough and good for down tube... overkill if you just want to protect from cable rub...

It it a specific Scotch Guard tape?

So where do you get the tape?

7 years later there should be "new technology"?

Yes, now it's called "electric cars in space tape"

I've got a few versions. All  Mountain Style make the toughest stuff I've encountered, available in various size and shape kits for between R 420 and R 680. If you prefer to make your own, Bikeshield do rolls of 200 x 1000mm for about R 570.

 

Otherwise go to a vinyl supplier and get the automotive stuff - I find it doesn't stick quite as well though.

Some plastic (Maizey) companies sell a protective vinyl stuff for 4x4. Tough as nails.
