1972 MPC GTO screw problem

[John Pol]

I`m building the 72 MPC GTO and it has circles engrave into the trunk where they use to screw the chassic to the body how do you get rid of it? Also it has outline for the opening in the hood how do you get rid of the outline because it shows when you paint it.

some filler or hi-build primer would take care of the post ghosts; you can stop the hood scoop outlines sometimes by backfilling the "cut lines" with super glue and styrene. it's tough to stop that ghosting because some paints are very "hot" and the plastic actually melts from the solvent in it. also, let your paint coats gas out adequately. too many coats of "hot" paint make it nigh impossible to remove those lines. some builders spray automotive primer into a cup and let it gas out a little (let the solvent evaporate some) and brush paint it over spots and into cut lines. with most of the solvent out, it doesn't etch into the plastic as badly.
