Just wondering could someone send me a link on where to order heli tape as theres so many types available. Can it be applied to a matt black finished frame?

    It can go on a matt frame, but will give a gloss finish, lots of places to buy it (including ebay), get 3M for longevity as the cheap stuff is more likely to peel or turn yellow, if you intend to replace frequantly, get the cheap stuff.

    Paragon tapes (on ebay) do matt finish tape too. Normal glossy tape would look naff on a matt bike.
