We saw something like that done with insulating tape at the IMM in 2008.

Use to see some Minis at the IMMs , where the front half was one colour and the rear half another. The divide went from the front Driver's side corner (curve) over the roof to the rear Passanger's side corner. TMG might have some old photos.
