Sticker tape on the top tube nah un cool. would look like a plaster to cover up a dent. a decent paint supplier would be able to mix paint for you from charts and supply in a rattle can,from the same place filler putty for any deep scratches. you can spray some in the lid and brush, or metallic, drill a 6mm hole in cardboard and spray through the hole moving it in sweeps.then wax or laqueer.you will prob never get it as good as the original finish [perfection is for wimps]
wheel rims have a peek 'brick lane bikes' wheel section plenty there, 38mm v sections or subtle aero ? nothing worse than a klein or something with thin rims. best wishes.
