100-4 correct two tone shape

This is an open question on the correct way to finish the two tone line on a 100-4. What I'm really mean is how to shape the line behind the front wheel well. I've seen quite a few where the line continues straight into the peak of the rear well, and I've seen others that round off and wrap down around the wheel arch. Anyone know the correct way to finish that off.
 
Don't forget that the wheel arches for BN1's are different from BN2s. I believe that with BN1s the paint line, when continued forward along the swage line lines up with the top of the wheel arch but this is not the case with the larger arch on the BN2. In this case the paint line is usually curved down to meet the wheel arch slightly lower down.
 
As the above link from the 100M Registry shows, this is the correct BN2
paint line to use as the first BN2's with the painted coves were the 100M's.
The BN1's with the LeMans kits had the line going straight to the top of the
arch as DerekJ mentioned.
Regards,
Mike
