I wonder if you can spray (IIRC, they came in spray cans too) "Plasti-dip" tool handle coating on the back of the clamps instead of tape that gets messy and gooey and sometimes, even slip, in the case of electrical tapes, over time..... The plasti dip coating will be mostly invisible too if you apply it carefully.
Although, one will need to check out if the "Plasti-dip" material might attack the paint after some time....

EDIT: Sorry I did not notice the mention of Plastidip above.....So I guess, +1 from me to try it out!
