Default Pace Car wheel red pinstripe

Hello, I have read that the original stripe is 3/16 and was painted with a pinstripe wheel. Anyone ever repaint the red stripe on their Pace car wheels? Thank you, Al

check the thread on the "barn" car. it looks more like 1/2" inch. if i remeber correctly the stripe is in a groove and is painted (as opposed to being taped).
