Putting an accent line or binding on pre-laminated body

Hello.

I'm planning on buying a Warmoth Jazzmaster body with a laminate top.  The top will be dark green and the body dark red.  I don't want Warmoth's colours or glossy finishes for this particular guitar so I will stain/finish it myself.  To make these colours work I think it needs some sort of binding or accent line between the two parts, framing the contrasting colours.  Unfortunately, Warmoth only offer masked bindings on their JMs, which is no good for me as I don't want them to finish it.

What are my options for getting a line on this kind of body?  Obviously I could add a masked binding when I stain the top but that looks pretty tricky and I'm not sure how it'd look without the fairly thick, glossy finishes that Warmoth provide.  (My finish is going to be kinda 'lofi' and raw looking.)

All comments and suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!
 
Find a local pinstripe painter to lay it on with good ol' One-Shot enamel once you've got the finish colors down.
