It's buried around here somewhere in a thread, but I guess some folks have used the correct width "pin stripe" tape. I guess if you could find that in a black mylar....
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Just for looks, I used some 6mm Tamiya masking tape that I colored with a Sharpie.

I've found that 1/4" pinstripe tape is very similar.
