cars1206 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hi everyone. In late July yall helped me with stripping the paint from my diecast. With that now done I was wondering if there is a way to deepen the panel lines? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 razor saw? Not sure if a scribe or dental pick would work with the metal. But I used a razor saw to cut a new fender line at bottom in a recent build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrigger Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I use the back side of a number 11 x-acto blade. If that is too sharp, use one that has the tip broken off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I use the back side of a number 11 x-acto blade. If that is too sharp, use one that has the tip broken off.That should work. X-Acto blade steel should be harder than whatever alloy diecasts are made of, so it should work. It's likely to take forever, though. Though I routinely rescribe kit bodies, I've never tried it on a diecast, so I really have no idea how much work might be involved. I'm guessing probably a LOT.
