Scratches on Les Paul

I've fixed chips, very successfully, with nail polish. Buy color (or colors, as you might need to mix them, a bit), that is closest

to what you're trying to replace, and get the clear polish too, for the clear coat over it. That, and some really fine sandpaper, followed by a bit of rubbing compound, and then some McGuiar's polish, and you should be good to go!

Thanks Charlie' date=' my better half knows all about nail polish so I'll drag her along when I go shopping.[/quote']

 

LOL...yeah, it always "looks" better, if the "better half" is along, huh? Of course, you could just go

to a hobby shop, and get model airplane/car paint bottles, too. I'm sure they'd work as well. I just

happened to have some nail polish around the house, from previous ding fixes...so, I just used that.

They're all pretty much enamel, anymore. No more lacquers, seemingly. Although...there is a company

called "ReRanch," that sells spray and touch up guitar colors, in lacquer. More expensive, too. Anyway...

good luck!
