Well Heli-Tape will be visible on your lowers, and is noticable, however if you take your time with the scissors you can make a very neat and tidy job of it.
I Heli-Tape my frame, however when it comes to fork lowers, I don't mind them getting scratched as I will re-spray the lowers at the end of each year anyway, complete with new decals, so it's no big deal..
If you do decide to get some Heli-Tape, I have tried a few different brands, but contact 'Duane..' on here as his stuff is the best and very competitively priced!
