Panel line woes

[snacktruck67]

I recently have been redoing a 67 Chevelle and I was working on the panel lines to bring them more to the fore front.  Well all went well until I moved to the trunk area.  As I was working my way on the left side panel line on the trunk my scriber went off track and did a slight awkward line.  It was all my fault, however I have a approx. 1 inch portion of the line that is messed up.  Is there anyway to straighten out that portion of the panel line so that it looks as close to normal as I can get it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I buggered the scribed panel lines on the scratch-built nose on this model a couple of times. I was able to correct them perfectly by filling the lines with bondo or epoxy, and re-scribing. It takes some real care and precise work, but you can do it.

If your buggered line area is on a straight section, cut a slice of aluminum tape to use as a scribing guide, like this.

Carefully mask off the area and apply a small amount of putty or even some of the  brush-on putties Tamiya makes.

Build it up and sand carefully. Accidents like this are common when scribeing to deepen or create panel lines.

I've found common superglue to be a great filler for scribing-booboo scratches.

I would think superglue would work very well, though I haven't tried it.

What I DO know is that, in many cases, lacquer putty isn't tough enough to resist flaking when it's scribed into. That's why I had to resort to bondo and epoxy on a couple of my own projects...to give a tough enough surface that also adhered well to the base plastic.
