Pin Stripes outside the main body stripes?

[Slider]

Paint starts next week! of course, with the deadline coming, I'm now reconsidering all my previously locked in decisions. One in particular is to add thin pinstripes on the outside edges of the main stripes on the roadster. I'm doing Patriot Blue with Wimbledon white, so fairly traditional. My question is, can anyone share the size and spacing and pics of the pin striping that you've done, or seen? I'd just like to make one last consideration and then provide accurate information to the paint shop. Thanks in advance.

I provided these two diagrams to my painter when he painted my Mk3.

Still takes a little finesse when laying it all out:

But I'm very happy with the final result.

The way that Jeff Miller paints the FFR's that come through his shop is that there is a 1/4" pinstripe located outside the main strip by 1/4".

BTW on the diagram above has some notes on it that I did differently. I like the stripe on the bottom of the hood and trunk, but that's just me:

2x what David says.

I do like the stripes under the hood and trunk. I think I'll have that done as well.

I did 1/4" stripe with 1/4" separation on Steve's Mk4 also:
