I would suggest a product from Avery, Its called 940 transparent, used in the sign industry. Go to any sign shop in your area and get them to order some in for you, its about $15 a metre at 610mm wide, that's their cost.. if they cant help, let me know, ill send you some.

this stuff will conform to subtle curves, etc, not really recommended for deep grooves etc.

this material is rated as a 7 year outdoor film, but not when applied to a horizontal surface.. you prob get 5 years out of it, that's if MISTRESS is outside in the sun all day, every day.

application made easier with a heat gun.. get the sign shop to get you in a squgee to, they are only a few bucks and would make the job easier.

Hope the paint is in good condition cause if the the film is high tack it might be difficult to get off without removing the paint.

Still don't quite understand why you need this protection?

Good Luck

good point, make sure the paint has gorne right off before application, I have wraped many late model cars with 900, (thats back before better material came out) this film comes off quite easy after a frew months, gets much harder to remove after a few years, the paint will be fine tho.

3M do make a product like you asked for - varying thicknesses

I once spoke to a guy from Altrek / Altrex(?) in Brookvale, NSW - they make the perspex number plate covers - and they were starting to make kits of the stuff

Don't have the number but you could try them - I think they were selling in sheet form - it is very clear and you can get it quite thick to protect headlights etc
