Filling plastic??

[xfile102]

I have a small device that came with the manufacturers name lightly stamped into the plastic. Any advice on the possibility of filling that in and painting over? I want a clean flat surface. Its ABS Plastic I believe.

A hobby store will have tubes of Testor's plastic filler, the size of Testor's glue for just such projects. Tamiya also makes some. Some place with a lot of model planes, cars, etc.. A little baking soda and super glue adheres very well to ABS but is very hard, making sanding and filing more difficult.

You can also mix plastic shavings into acetone and use it as a filler.

Dollar store 2 part epoxy works as well.
