Not sure how much time you want to spend on the finish, but:

This example of automotive pinstripe on a roll (ebay) is 2.5mm and 5mm approx. wide. Choice of colours including silver/gold, and matt or gloss finish. (For your application you could ditch the 5mm part) It's actually quite thin vinyl but a slight step might be noticeable in the varnished finish. Pugin wouldn't approve, but then again if it's no good you're only a few quid down and it comes off with a hairdryer. I suspect a craft supplier or graphics company could supply narrower material if 2.5mm is too wide.
