Sadly, I guess once you go black electrical tape, you never go back.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. *The extension cord is attached
to a metal fence, so the fence should be grounded. *As long as the
tape being used is black electrical tape, then it should be good to
go. *This is the same logic used in Washington DC. *Black is being
used and nobody is grounded...LOL

And 'being grounded" does not mean a better ground won't be found if
