Why can't you use masking tape to tape electrical wires?
Masking tape isn't designed to be either insulating or watertight, so it's a really bad choice to use to tape electrical wiring together. What masking tape is designed for is paint masking then easy removal after the paint dries without leaving any residue. If you just temporarily want to tape the wires to a wall or something, it's fine, but using it on exposed wiring is a bad idea, and masking tape isn't designed for longtime service anyway. Masking tape is considered disposable, electrical tape is considered permanent. <<>> Electrical tape has an inherent insulation property. It comes in many thickness and temperature ratings. There are two main types in use in the electrical trade. The PVC tape is the everyday tape used for general insulating purposes. The second type is a rubber amalgamating tape. This type is used on large motor splices. Once the rubber tape is applied, it amalgamates into one mass of rubber to provide the proper insulation value. After the rubber tape is applied an over wrap of PVC tape is applied to provide wear protection to the splice.

Does spray paint adhere to electric tape?
Yes and no. Depends on the brand. I have used electrical tape as a paint mask on several metal projects. Hard acrylic paints usually crack and peal when I take it off. More flexable paints designed to paint plastics usually crack but still hold onto the tape. (If you are looking to use painted tape to add various colors to something you would do better to buy the tape in your desired color. It does come in more colors than just black.) If the tape isn't going to be moved after painting any paint that sayes it will work on plastic should be fine.

Will dielectric prevent water from getting in a connection on a transmitter antenna?
The best material to use on these types of connections is a rubber amalgamation tape. This can be purchased at any electrical supply house. After applying the rubber tape overlay it with ordinary electrical tape. The electrical tape has UV protection that will stand up under the sunshine and protect the rubber tape. When the electrical tape starts to look dried out and starts to crack just re install new electrical tape, the rubber tape will be alright and not need to be replaced.
