I need to add a color stripe to soem trays I designed. Normally it wouldn't be something I'd model, but this customer is requesting it. It's basically an offset stripe to identify the tray. (Picture Herbie the love bug as a shippign container.)
Texture doesn't work the way I need it to. About the only thing i can think of would be to create another solid offset from this one in the width i need and color it the color I need. This would be very time consuming.
Normally, I'd just mark up a print and fax it to him for approval.
 
What about using a split line to divide the face?
 
I'd go the split line route lick the tick suggested.
 
With the Split Line, you can assign different materials, colors, textures, etc. for the differing surfaces. I often do this with simple text decals or pad printing areas for rendering in PhotoWorks.
