i bought some black tape, which reflects white, dont see it during day, but great at night !
About 10 years ago one of my apprentices fished a whole bag of about 12 large rolls of 3/4"-wide 3M tape out of a dumpster at a construction site. Must have been lost and then thrown out by a laborer by the guys who were putting up the signage in the parking garage.
I use the stuff everywhere. I've got it on my Ross which does a pretty good job reflecting light as you can see in this picture.
Oh, and j-quix -that's a Sturmey-Archer
