paint protector / helicopter tape

I want to buy some plastic film of some sort to put on the rear arches to stop the stone chips getting any worse. I have also thought it might have to be black as anything clear will just show the chips that are already there (don't I wish I had done this before I put the car on the road!). Is it just best to contact a company that does "vehicle wrapping" or similar or can I buy some off the shelf?

Or real carbon fibre with 3m sticky back from ebay.

thanks, the self adhesive carbon is out, my tiger arches are not a straight curve so fittin it will be difficult, hence the ideal of some stick on vinyl type material.

thanks sounds like armourfend may be the answer.
