Applying Decals on Top of Decals - Any Thoughts?

Hello Friends,

I am in the midst of planning my build for the Revell Special Edition 2008 Ford Mustang GT500KR kit.  The decal sheet has stripes in both black and silver.  I am planning on painting the car Testor's One-Coat White Lightning.  I was planning on using the silver stripes, but then a thought hit me: why not use both the black and silver stripes for a custom paint job?  I would apply the black stripes to the body first, and then trim the silver stripes just a touch, thus giving the appearance of a black outline around a silver stripe.  My question to you all is if any of you have any experience layering decals in the manner I've described.  I tried searching the forums but didn't really find anything.  I am going to search for some spare decals in the ol' parts box, but I don't think I have any that are roughly the same size to get a real idea of how it will all shake out.  Let me know if you guys have any thoughts, and I'll try and post some results if I'm able to test it out.  Thanks!
