use fine line masking tape, paint both your base colours then lacquer, you will still have a "ridge" so personally I "flow coat" it by dry flatting the whole panel back with 800 grit (when lacquer cured) then another 2 coats of lacquer that will get rid of the ridge and also protect it from scratching/chipping on the edge/join
