Low tack black masking tape
 
Since my box is black and I'm heading to the track for the first time, I thought I'd try to find some low tack black masking tape for the headlamps and keep that stealth fighter look.

I've poked around the web a little and found some black gaffer's tape, but they advertise how well it adheres to carpet and such and I would rather find black painter's tape or something with a far lower tack to use so it will be more easily removed.

Anyone have a brand they like and can pass along where they bought it?

Low tack black masking tape may be found at artist's supply stores.
I used to use it to tape foam-core board sections together for display purposes. It comes off readily leaving no residue.

Look in photographers supply places as well as art stores. It's generally acid free for mounting prints and so forth.

How about good old Black electrical tape.

I can't recommend a brand of tape, but one thing we do is to first stick the tape to our clothes. The lint etc. the tape picks up reduces the its stickyness.
