English term or phrase: pinstriping

The goal of pinstriping is to enhance the contours of the surface, and the lines are generally of a complementary color. In any other form of decorative pin stripes, the goal is the same.

Pin stripe décor is also applied to motorcycles, trucks, boats, and surfboards.

French translation:rayures

Explanation:
Chez un client en automobile, on traduit respectivement « pinstriping » et « side mouldings» par « rayures » et « moulures pour carrosserie ».
C'est volontairement qu'il est écrit ci-dessus pinstriping (sing.) > rayures (plur.).
Le singulier « rayure » pourrait traduire « pinstripe », le cas échéant.

une bande décorative latérale

Explanation:
Lorsque je vendais des autos(Québec) et que le client en désirait toujours plus pour le prix avant de signer, je lui demandais s'il aimerait avoir de belles stripes sur son auto! Il me demandait le prix prévu pour ajouter des <<stripes décoratives>> délicates et moi de répondre: ''Pour vous, ce sera gratuit!''
Exemple concret:
Bande décorative: Garniture ornant la carrosserie d'une automobile.

Liséré est un terme en effet très technique. Est-ce que la norme des lecteurs comprendrait la signification de ce mot?

Example sentence(s):

Bande décorative: Garniture ornant la carrosserie d'une automobile.
