No, I don't know anything about tape for that application.
As Larry has suggested, I've used Gorilla tape for lotsa things
and it's pretty weather/element resistant, and VERY robust and
sticky.

What I do use for anti corrosive protection on my front Bilstein
coil over shocks is this: http://www.corrosionx.com/marine.html
It's excellent, does not come off due to normal vehicle use, even
when using the car wash power wand under the van. It will come
off if you use something like charcoal lighter fluid or other to
clean it off, and that's when it's easy to see how effectively it
protects from anticorrosion.
