Default Fork wrap?

is there any company that does a wrap or something for the upper part of the fork between the triple clamps?

I used adhesive vinyl shelf liner. Picked it up at the local home improvement store. I was testing it out and 2 years later it is still on.

don't have any close ups handy, but here is how it looks.
