Tub lip protection (1 Viewer)

[archie73]

So now that I have repainted the 40, I’d like to make it last a while. My son, 10, easiest entry to the back seat is to grab the cage and climb up the tire. I’m good with that, but (before I painted it) he would next step on the tub lip to get in. Well that is now a good way to get under dad’s skin.
So I’m looking for a way to protect the fresh paint. Looking at the gas tank, it has a welting(?) to protect It. What’s that called? Anybody solved this problem?

Try "Trim Loc" on Graingers website.

I used this for other purposes, but it might fit the tub rail...I can check tomorrow if you like, I do have a few feet left for a test. Fairly thick, and a u-channel inside that's metal, it's not just rubber.
