lee4 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I've moved my strap button(bridge end one)a few times now,and it has left me with 4 holes to fill and re-paint(gloss black). Any tips on what to and not to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think black is an easy colour to match. If it was me I'd leave it as I'm not too bothered about dings etc but if you really wanted to spruce it up a bit I'd repaint it with black nail varnish. A little at a time and let it dry as you build up the layers until level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Or start off with nail varnish and build up layers of superglue. Then buff back flush when dry with a nail buffer from Boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelLaHash Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 was suggested GLUE, but that dosnt have colour, the other suggest is BLACK NAIL VARNISH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthevan Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 go to halfrauds and get a bodywork repair kit. It's basically paint in a bottle with a brush on one end and like a needle on the other. Use the needle end to fill the chip with paint and job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee4 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Cheers all. The chips are back to the body wood,and there are screw holes to fill. Would a fine filler do,or should I just build up the layers of paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Chips to the wood are OK with superglue if you have a close enough base colour down first. If the wood hasn't been filled (normal with maple and other non porous woods) then lay some superglue down first, let it penetrate and dry to seal the wood. Then apply the colour coat and let it dry. Clean up any over paint and then apply the superglue gradually in layers. Not too thick or it'll frost over. It takes a little patience.
