I didn't bother with my 2018 Carbon Comp Levo, but have taped my 2019 Kenevo.
As much as I love the matte black, it has gloss too and a pita.

To be honest, I bought some thick 3M tape and covered the rear suspension arms, figured this would protect area best and it's super thick/rubbery.
The frame I "patch" covered with Matte tape from guy on fleabay. Very easy to use tape and hopefully guard against odd scratch/chip. Very easy to remove and mould. "Paragon tape" on bay.
Just (way I did it) cut some templates with brown packing paper and stick away.
Not as elegant as Invisiframe but cost me about £18 total and bit of time. Plenty tape left and looks fine for required job.

Someone on here used something similiar and it was fastened with velcro, think it was fairly successful, my old stumpy had a factory fitted one, it could be a problem area that needs to be protected now we have the usual British weather bearing down on us !!!
