|  door lines and panel lines (sharpie alternative) build thread so ive seen pics (and tried myself once on a drift body) of using sharpie on door lines and panel lines to make them look more real. but i tried lots of thicknesses of sharpie on scrap body pieces i had and they all looked to thick. its like going from too thin of body lines to too thick. which looks worse IMO. so here's the alternative i came up with (granted this will only work on EXTERIOR painted bodies) take a razor blade to the small lines between doors and hood and what not. dont press too hard, but hard enough to penetrate a couple layers of paint. i think it looks pretty good! also you can see here my first couple scratches that got through to the rust, then in the 2nd pic got through only to the metal.

|    Fixed it for ya. Have to use the [IMG] tags. Looks nice! Just have to be super careful otherwise you'll score the body to be weak enough to crack on a hard hit. |

Well the HREF tags won't allow the IMG tags to work.

ABC makes body/panel line tape. 0.3 and 0.5 widths. Good stuff. Way easier to get pro results with than anything else. ABC Microline Tape 0.3mm [70412] - €4,46 : Race & Drift Japan Here's a few examples (not my work - I wish! This guy is in the Phillipines. topsecret0304 on Ebay if you're interested.)    |
