Eddie,

Any sign shop should be able to supply you with a bit of vinyl which you 
can cut to the right shape.  The standard grade would be fine and is 
very inexpensive.  I plan to cut lots of little patches and carry them 
with the trailer, so that I may cover the holes, every time I rig the 
plane.  This is the same vinyl we commonly use in auto graphics and it 
can be removed, easily, without damage to the paint...
