I have used commercially available hobby pin striping , and auto pin striping with varying degrees of success. Both types will typically not do well on tight radius curves, and they will in time be effected by glow fuel.

I now use thin strips cup from appropriate colored Monokote. Strips as small as 1/16 inch can be cut using a straight edge that securely holds the Monokote in place, while using a fresh razor blade to cut. The Monokote goes around small radius curves very well, using a sealing iron as I go. Striping makes for a very clean edge between two different colors. Then too, Monokote will hold up to glow fuel. It's also a bit thinner then auto tape.
