Cool trick. I like the clear heat shrink. I picked up a Dymo labeler when I did the LS swap in the Jeep. That worked pretty good too for labeling individual wires. I tucked all those inside the loom.
One possible flaw with this might be the heat sensitive thermal printing paper - it's probably going to fade like your CVS receipts do over time. If you use one of those TZ tape type label printers though, it uses a thermal head but the lettering is much more permanent since it burns away material and splices it together with the background layer and a clear covering; these really do stand up to long term use. They also have heaps of different colour combinations too.
I just painted my MGB and labeled the wires with tape and of course we got primer on the tape. A better idea is to do what this guy is doing and if you are painting, cover the labels with tape, then after painting, take the take of and re wire.

Yeah I was wondering if it going to do that. I will look into the tz version. Thank for the tip!
