A DIYS fix is possible if you are handy with resin. Scrape all loose chips off. Use finishing resin (surfboard) and buy a couple of transparent red and orange resin tints. Mix the colors with the resin until you have the right tone, catalize it. Use some clear mailing tape to form a 'mold' for the outer edge and leave it higher than the edge. 'Fill' the gap with the resin and work some over the flat area, overfill it a bit. When dry, pull tape and sand flush. Go easy, when close, use 400,800,1200,1500 and 2000 grit paper. Blend the area around the fix feathering the edges. Use a compound and polish to bring the shine out. Good luck.

Great! Thanks. Surfboard resin might be easy to find in Hawaii.... but not here in Quebec :laugh2: :laugh2:

Re: OOOUCH!! (major ding pictures...)

Every single one of my guitars ever always seems to get messed up somehow within the first 6 months or so. I got my Schecter in January, and it's got a couple dings that aren't through the paint, a scratch on the bottom, fine scratches ALLLLL OVER the back of it, and not only buckle rash, but studded belt rash on the back, not through the finish, but ugly nonetheless.
 
Re: OOOUCH!! (major ding pictures...)

Everything that happens to my guitars are never my fault. We had some windows replaced some months ago, and these window guys decide to move everything around to get more work room. Well, after they were done. There was dust everywhere, including my guitar. They started cleaning the dust off. And this ain't ordinary dust. it's crystal dust from the windows they were working on. So this guy, he takes a rag, and starts wiping my guitar off. Now, not a centimeter on my guitar isn't marred by scratches. It would've been okayer if the scratches had been circular, like the motion he was doing with his rag, but the scratches are all squiggly.

Then there was this time I was at a gig in a friend's backyard. A friend of mine wanted to mess around with another one of my guitars, and he sits down on a row of cinder blocks. He inadvertently drags the thing along the line of cinderblocks as he was walking. I went home crying that night.
