Thanks, Duane. My trim runs the full length of the side like below. My dilemma is that I've filled all the seams, front and rear, so there are no natural dividing lines. Plus I never liked how the tail light housing was one color and the quarter panel another. Up front, the factory scheme accentuated the "bug eyed" look by having the lower color surround the headlights up to the eyebrow. I do like the look of the Fairlane 500 up front, though. I'm reluctant to have long stretches of the parting line between the colors exposed. A very thin pinstripe might work to hide the break. Just need to think on it some.
