the honeycomb look is actually crushed glass under a clear tape. It was invented by 3M for use as a RR crossing arm reflector, as well as the sides of truck trailers.
The vendor who made it for 3M years ago was in Savannah GA and was a client of mine. The stuff sold then for thousands of dollars a roll and I was fortunate enough to get several "blem" rolls t use to mark stands, clothes pins for going in and out of Ft Stewart (you couldnt leave trail tape or other markers or stands there but it was an easy way to mark yourself in and then back out to your truck at dark)
I still have some of the stuff but its actually much thicker than the bike tape you are showing Brad.
Cool stuff.
