Help with refinishing....ran into a bit of a snag...

[krankguitarist]

Ok, well, I'm refinishing my kramer pacer in a vintage cream. Its lookin great so far, but, for the second time while i've been doing this project, my dad has accidently put a ding in the guitar :blackeye: .

First time was in the wood prep phase where he dropped a chair on it. This time he's decided to take it down from where it was hanging and stack boxes on top of it. Am I frusturated? Oh hell yes I am. Needless to say I told him never to touch my refinishing projects EVER again :grumble: .

So, the Ding is about the size of a nailhead, and not real deep, but enough to get through to the wood.

So...what do i do? should i just say "**** it" and sand it down, fill it, and repaint? OR is there a simpler solution?

If you're using spray boms than spray the colour into a cap and do a drop,do the same with the clear as well.Don't do any overall finishing until that area is level.

I'm not sure I exactly follow what you're saying...I'm using reranch spray cans right now. Could you elaborate a bit?

he means fill the small ding with a small drip of paint and let it harden then sand it smooth and go about the rest of your finishing.
