[Closed] Protecting the frame from cable rub

Just got new brakes and braided hoses (overkill but I think they look wicked) and I want to avoid cable rub at the points where the hose is touching the frame.
Can anyone recommend a solution? Some kind of stickers maybe?

@Rossrobot: If that's not a joke, look on ebay under... funnily enough, frame stickers.

You can even get bling carbon effect ones ๐Ÿ˜‰

Frame stickers as above. You could look into "helicopter tape" or what I find works remarkably well and lasts without peeling off is the park glueless puncture repair patches strangely enough.

search "bike tape" or "helicopter tape" on ebay.

3M makes the "proper" stuff which is quite thick, an ebay trader called Paragon Tapes sells a cheaper thinner non-3M tape which I actually prefer, it is easier to mould over welds etc and seems as hard wearing as the 3M stuff.
