Cut the tape into 1/8 inch thick segments. if you managed to find pre-cut rolls, all the better.

I used a Tron inspired / PCB pattern for the boots and chest and back part, and a heavyloader theme for the shoulders and forearms. Take care not to cover the ventilation holes or the armor would not be able to keep you cool and the sweat may loosen the adhesive

Now you can wear it at night and be very visible to others. This armor is a headturner even during daytime.
