paint quality

There was a post a few days ago about paint quality but can't seem to find it. I have a new Cube and after one spin the frame is already marked (where the back cables rub on the front of the frame)...this seems a bit too early for it to happen... right? (first very easy 1 hr spin)...

someone mentioned Helicopter Tape.... where is the best place to get this?
i have some in the shop..but I use the same coloured insulating tape as the frame..people chip paint on their bikes all the time, the paint finish and lacquer is the same for all bikes. Like I said earlier..i've two new lapierres..no chips no marks..riding both 6 days a week during the worst summer in history.

how much is it? I need to put it on the side and front. is it best to come in with the bike or is it easy to apply?

With regards to the paint. I would have assumed it would happen, but not so soon... quite disappointed it's scratched :(
Paint and bikes, what tulip came up with that concept? Trance anodized, that's how to do it.
