[rangers158]

Hi, anybody knows where can repair paint chips well? Anyone has experience with guitar workshop for these type of comestic repairs? Just need to know so that I can send in my guitar with a peace of mind.

Thanks. Where did you get yours repaired? You did it at Guitar Workshop? Rightfully, it should be as smooth as new when done correctly. You will have to paint and coat with a thicker coat of lacquer on that area. Sand it down and polish to level and shine.

Mine's black so I hope there will be no problem. I have many little chips on the edge of the body. One chip, I will probably not bother but its a quite a number.

pay abt $200 get your guitar resprayed from top to toe...more worth it..u end up wif a brand new finish...just like when you've bought it...personally i'd choose to haf them finished satin style...less prone to scratches

Yes, but the problem is I want to maintain the finishing of the guitar. There are some graphics on the body. So only need to repair the black edge. Anybody has similiar experience on refinishing the chips?

how on earth did u get the chips in the first place. if i loved my guitar enough to actually refinish chips i wouldnt even let my guitar be chipped which is in my case. better to prevent than to cure yes? :wink:

[rangers158]

Yes, its always those accidental swings and knocks. Quite heart pain but cannot be helped. So anybody knows any shop that can do a good job?

HAHAHAHA i did it with my strat. One complete turn. I had the locking straps HAHA

 

[pooo]

Me too. Dimarzio Clip Locks for life!

Had an experience when my Les Paul slammed to the floor due to strap giving way. Well, a Les Paul is a Les Paul, still played well

By the way, scratches and dings are cool, badges of honours for guitars. Each fault tells a story
