It should be available cheaply at most "real" auto parts stores. I'm not sure about the discount chains. I suspect it's used because it isn't finicky to apply, is a reasonably decent adhesive, at least if there isn't a lot of flex, and it's relatively easy to get off. Alcohol is a solvent for shellac. It is also a good degreaser. So if you decide you don't like the new covering, don't douse your Leica liberally with alcohol to remove it; use a careful, controlled application.
