Victory Pete Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Doing Nitro drop fills on my 2016 J-45 Custom today and came across this thread. How did this repair come out? It looks like that scratch is only in the top clear coat. A very carefully applied thin coat of clear nitro with a very tiny brush would be my approach. Make sure it is enough to be slightly raised above the surrounding finish. The hardest part is leveling this. If the level is not perfectly flat with the surrounding finish you will have the area filled but a very visible distortion in the final buffed out surface reflection will show. In some case this is acceptable, but on the front of a guitar it will stick out like sore thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to scare BBG away from all this in post #27. Good news is that he hasn't done anything yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Axe Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Maybe try some black shoe polish on it, you would be surprised. I have done this on a few types of paint and it wont leave a buildup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
