Rendang, I have a funny feeling that the tape that you mentioned, might have been what I used anyway. It was quite stretchy and conformable. I will have to show you my headlight surround. Sounds tacky, but it was used as a temporary "black" on the chrome bits to see if I should paint the surround black. It turned out so good that the tape stayed on and I haven't bothered painting it yet. Sounds feral, but it actually looks OK. That is why I think it must be the same tape. It came from an automotive shop, so it could be the same stuff. It has been on for over a year and still looks neat. Hasn't deteriorated in UV light and is has coped well with washes and rain too. Great stuff!
And that reminds me...another one for the to do list.
Paint headlight surround black.
Don't work too hard and see you out on the road later this year.
