Keep in mind that the small gap will, at some distance, be small enough you'll get the Z-fighting again. It may work for what you need though. You often see this Z-fighting when there are trusses under the sheathing on a roof. Even though the sheathing has some thickness so the upper face is spaced away from the trusses, they can still show through.
