As mentioned above the 3M clear adhesive plastic sheet or Trimbrite Bodyguard Paint Protection Film are also some good materials to use that stick on to the paint.
Yessir! My 99 ALWAYS had felt bumpers against the tank. After 15 years, the felt rubbed thru the paint.

If you're serious, a polyester film is the only decent solution.

We use clear plastic tape made for that. It comes off really easy.
