Simple Trim Wraps for Beginner

I am wrapping a rod, but have only done plain under/over wraps. On this rod, I plan to use green under and black over, and want to add holo-gold trim.

I'm not sure where the trim would look best, outside the green underwrap, or outside the black overwrap, or both, and how many turns would look good. I am not trying to look too fancy, just want to dress it up a little. Any suggestions?

If anybod has some pictures of guide wraps they can post as examples it would be appreciated.

Mikeccc, in your 9' canal rod article, the underwrap has what looks like three bands of a single color under the center of the guide, did you do this by wrapping a single color in, then spiralling the two threads together for three turns?

Thanks
