Is this tape or wrap non adhesive &amp; is it a bright shiny black?

Non-adhesive, sticks to itself. No, the exposed side is not shiny, dark black with a blue streak in the middle.

It is black foam. The sides have a grey tint due to the foam structure. The tape is about 1/16 inch thick or less.

No I know it's bright but I just put something in front of it or you could use black tape I suppose

I don't know. I use it only for shipping. When I reuse a box and have to cover up printing on that box, I use this tape. It is paper and very sticky, so it could probably be painted. It is also very smooth. I just can't attest to the end result, as I haven't used it for that purpose.

It's not actually tape you can tear but rather a strong, clear adhesive. I'm very pleased with the product!

It is not shiny. It is a permanent finish. For my cork floor I originally sealed with 4 wipe-on/wipe-off coats (very thin) and it looks very natural. I intend to re-seal with one coat about once a year.

No, there is no adhesive on it. It is "fuzzy" on one side and "prickly" on the other. I use is for cord wraps and any other thing I need a reusable wrap on. I suppose if you want to use it for sewing, you would use one strip with the fuzzy side out and another strip with the prickly side out. I like the fact that I can cut the length I need, no more, no less.

The tape is visible but if it's on an elastic wrap that's white you can't see it. It is matte and very strong. I have never found a strong tape like this that is paper. It is easy to get off and yet will hold a leg wrap on for several days! Hope this answer helps.

This order was black my first order was bright like aluminum foil. Painting couldn't possibly hurt as paint has insulating properties of its own. I thought the shinning looked impressive like the inside of a race car. But after the carpet was installed there are places it didn't cover and the black isn't so obvious.

It is definitely not a matte finish; tape appears glossy to me. It is the same package and tape sold in office store- only cheaper here.

The tape is not invisible unless its on a white service or wrapping. It is the strongest paper tape ever and it is easy to take off. It also holds for many days. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is black rubber-like backing. They are not non-slip, you can move them freely without the double sided tape. But they are stiff. I have really been happy with the product. It has been in my office all year, high traffic with children, and it has held up perfect.

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.

The tape is thin - like regular shipping tape - but strong - I use it all the time for shipping packages.

I think the strip/tape itself is black rather than white, the LEDs would be the same. I noticed something I'm considering buying with these LEDs on it, used white strip ones, and the item they are on is dark. The first thing I thought was "Why did they use white tape against the dark background of the object?" Answer: when they are off, in daylight or room light, the white strip would show up more than I'd like. However in use, with lights on in a dark-ish environment, there might be more reflection from the white strip, thereby giving a better LIGHTS payoff. This is only my opinion. However I think I'm going to get the black strip one because the white showing on the dark object still bugs me a little.

No it is not. You have to be real careful with it or it can ruin your tape.

It's much lighter, and it's not sticky like packing tape. It sticks to the window & frame, but you can peel it off easily with no residue. Packing tape would be much more visible too, even the transparent kind.
