Brake cable rub.

Has anyone found a solution to the cable rub that happens around the  headtube bit. Can the cable be coated with something to stop any wearing of the paintwork ?????????????????

Cheers Mr snav, a bit of sellotape is now attached, hope it doesn't wreck my paint, but then i've never come across a decent sellotape anyway. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
