Does this tape have a flat black matte finish? or is it shiny like regular duct tape?..I need a matte finish, also need to use outside in the sun and rain. Thanks

It worked great outside. I used on leaky garden hoses. As far as the shine it did have some.

It isn't as shiny as regular duct tape, as it is black. The texture has a bit of shine to it though. I would trust this tape with my life. It is the strongest, stickiest stuff out there. I've used it to hold many things indoor and outdoor and will never buy any other strong tape.

No it's about as shiny as regular duct tape, but you won't find a tape that is stickier and can handle the sun and rain . . .

Think the problem is with terminology. A satin finish is not the same as matte. I think of matte as almost totally non-reflective, and more like anodized aluminum would be. Satin finish is shiny / reflective, but not as much as glossy. This flashlight definitely is a shiny/reflective black (whole. Head, body, & tail all the same). It's not as shiny as smooth plastic would be though. So I'd say it's neither glossy or matte, but more of a satin finish, leaning slightly towards glossy.

I didn't get a chrome finish. It was more of a silver and when I tried to use gloss clear coat it went bad. It could have been the material I was painting. Try a test piece of material to see what reaction you get. Mike

It's in between. It is translucent. It's NOT see thru like scotch tape. But it is not 100% opaque like duct tape.

Just installed one and it is more of a matte finish. It is not shiney at all. I think it's very sharp looking, but more of a dull black with a slightly rough texture.

In the container, it is a thin - milky colored product. It is a blended urethane and acrylic resin that pours out of the container white and dries to a clear, high gloss finish. It is a thin film product. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks. George Carson Exterior Performance Coatings 630-675-4509

I just used duct tape and it worked fine all season. Put down two layers on top our concrete patio. Only thing I'll change is to install the pool in our carport out of the sun. BTW, the material "aged" from outdoor exposure in south Louisiana and will need replacing for this season. Enjoy.. O^Ocrm

The tape is very thin and is a matte finish and the tape is very strong but, none of these qualities are what is so important about this tape. This is a dressing tape, made to keep a dressing in place without irritating the skin.

I have only used it on my sculptures, that remain inside. But given the type of tape that it is, I would think it could come off easily outside due to the weather--rain and wind especially

Not sure what you meant by 6011 tape. Is that a typo ? The Scotch 411 tape is very durable, and carries a "5lb" rating for indoor or outdoor use. There are also "10lb", and "20lb" versions for more extreme mounting. I have used the outdoor 5lb for mounting for aluminum decals that I made, and applied to a Window. The 5lb tape can withstand 115 degree weather in the Arizona desert for years, and never dries out or gets brittle. I also used the 5lb tape for mounting my Google Nexus tablet mount on my golf cart as well as repairing my cell phone clip. I trust this tape with my valuables, and more. I did purchase the 20lb, but have not used it. I am saving this for a project where I have no intention of EVER removing what I have mounted. It's the most extreme tape, and was suggested to be used where one might use screws, rivets or weld. Quite the amazing products.

There's no sheen or gloss. It's just a good sturdy matte finish. Great for making homemade cards.

I have never used the Scotch Exterior Mounting Tape but the Permanent Outdoor Mounting is the bomb. It is truly permanent. I mounted a paper towel holder in my boat that is in the water year round, a moist environment where no other double sided tape would stick for very long. This stuff has no indication it is going to come off a year later. I tried to pull it off one day and it about ripped the wall off.

It doesn't peel off like a plastidip. It is more like an enamel. I'm sure you'd have no problem using an glossover with it but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are you using to two very light coats or less. Sand down the area you plan on painting with a a 400gr sandpaper (that's what I used and it worked great). Then spray light coats, waiting about ten to fifteen minutes in between coats. Don't go passed three coats unless yo only ever plan on driving during the day. Finished produc looks great and for the price I would definitely recommend it.

It is like a cloth tape, very tacky and sticks extremely well. My experience with vinyl tape is tears, sharp corners/edges and not very professional looking.

This is a tape, not a liquid product. If you prep the surface and it's not too cold, it sticks like iron. Never tape over wet or rusted areas.

The tape is not coated, but a composite type, i.e., made from some colored polymer, don't know what, but verytough. I am very pleased with it. Oh, you will need some very sharp scissors to cut it cleanly.

Hmmm...I used the tape on my boat...which is in Lake Havasu. (I'm in CA) I'm not 100% on this, but I think it was more of a semi-gloss. I don't think it was a flat. Maybe more like electrical tape. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
