Default What to use to fill in vette letters on FRC?

Making my own "custom" Fuel rail covers for my car. Just wondering what I should use to fill in the CORVETTE letters on the fuel rail covers that I can sand and make smooth. Thanks for the info.

they are indented or bevled in there. I'm trying some sandable epoxy on a different piece of plastic (same kind of plastic) to see if it'll work.

Anybody who has done this tho it would be nice to get some feedback on what you used.

I actually used bondo with great success. Though some would caution you on that because it's not the perfect choice with flexible plastic. Worked for me though...four years and still perfect.

I've got some 3M stuff you can use. Dig the stickers out of the indents, and scuff down in there thoroughly with 80 grit, bring them by and I'll lay some in there for you. It's like $45 a tube but you only need a little.
