I'm not sure the black bike with tape is any brighter than my bare aluminum look bike at night. That black glow in the dark tape reflects about as much as the white on a license plate.
Which black did you get? I haven't tested it with a cars headlights, but you can see an example of black in a camera flash upthread on my girlfriends bike. It's not quite as bright as the white or the red, but still quite bright.
