Wheel fairing paint gap?

Assembling the wheel pants on a 12iS. How much should the gap be between the front and back seam for paint?
 
I used a 0.032" piece of scrap for most every paint gap on the plane. It seemed to work out well.
 
A hacksaw blade makes a good gauge, but note, any gap width looks fine if it's even everywhere.
