Restoring a Missile Command & Centipede.
Water damaged / rotted so cut the bottom of the cabs off, fitted new 19mm chipboard (particle board in the US) at the bottom of each. Car body filler and they are ready for the sideart I have here.
The question is what to use to get the chipboard smooth. I cut a bit of the decal off at the edge to try it but the "gritty" surface showed through even though I'd sanded it smoothly (or so I thought).
I guess it's primer and elbow grease but someone out there knows so please feel free to impart your knowledge this way.
Thanks all....
