Panel lines
Yes there is a simple method. First prime your Fuse and sand it down to reveal and remove imperfections. Next locate each panel line where it is positioned on the Fuse. Purchase some 1/64 chart pack tape or equivalent. The tape and primer will create your recessed panel line. Place the tape where each panel line is to be and spray a few coats of primer over the tape. Remove the tape with a #11 Exacto blade, carefully. What is left is a recessed panel line in the primer. This is exactly what you're looking for. Hope this helps BobH.
