KC has excilent customer service. But I personally wouldn't worry them over something a $2 can of paint could repair. You may have scrapped the paint with your tools during installation. Who knows. It isn't a big deal.
I used double sided foam tape between the surfaces of my mount. It added a little cushion, gave me the protection I wanted, and heald the bracket in place for hands free installation.

I think you're talking about something to use as a pad between the bracket and the painted part of the body?
I went to a bike shop and got a large fat inner tube for a mountain bike. Cost like 6 bucks. I cut out 2 sections that would be as wide as the bracket, and then sliced each section lengthwise so that it would open up. Laid each one flat, used the bracket as a pattern, and cut it out with scissors (holes too, they came out square but no matter). Works like a charm--very thin like they aren't even there, but saves the paint.

I have KC lights but used Rugged Ridge mounts which came with little foam "gaskets".
I like the solutions others have come up with for putting something between the body and the mounts.
