I've had taped pinstripes on a few vehicles, more popular here back in the 80's I guess, the tape did hold up but the ends (starting point, indside the doors) became a problem. Quick fix is clear nail polish.
Washing was not a problem but waxing was a pain. If you get wax over the pinstripe and then remove it, there would be a noticable build up left along the edge.

Same here - taped stripes back in the (gasp) 80's and 70's. I just had my RidgeLine stripped this last week. The guy who did it has been doing it for over 25 years. I went with two colors - each of which was a slightly lighter shade of the interior colors. Both look quite nice on the white exterior (IMHO).
