How to change the thickness of an outline in Illustrator
If you’re not happy with the thickness of an outline in Adobe Illustrator, don’t despair — it’s easy to change. With the Selection tool active, simply click on the object whose outline you wish to change. In the top menu, select Effect > Stylize > Outline Stroke.

How to change the color of an outline in Illustrator
In Adobe Illustrator, there are two types of line artwork: stroke and fill. When you create a line with the Pen tool, you are actually creating a path, which can have a stroke. This stroke can be solid color, a gradient, or even a pattern. You can apply a fill to closed shapes as well as open paths. Fills can also be solid colors, gradients, or patterns.
How to add a second outline to an object in Illustrator
If you need to add a second outline to an object in Illustrator, the easiest way to do it is to use the Offset Path effect. With the object selected, go to Effect > Path > Offset Path. In the Offset Path dialog box, enter the amount you want the new outline to be offset from the original, and then click OK. The new outline will be added to your object.
How to create a dashed or dotted outline in Illustrator

How to apply an outline to a selected object in Illustrator
