guitar2005 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 My acoustic guitar fell the ground ground and the result is a big finish chip. I managed to fix the colour but I now need to apply some clear coat on it. The finish is some sort of industrial poly/urethane finish that has a yellowish tint to it. Any ideas as to what could work well for a repair? I'm thinking that a gel clear coat might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 That might indeed. Are you planning on recoating the whole surface or leaning toward a spot repair? Nitro makes a good spot repair on most clears and you may even be able to tint it to match. You just have to have the patience to let it shink back and refill till it's a little proud of the surface then level and buff. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar2005 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm looking for a spot repair and something that is as close as possible to the original factory finish so that they age similarily. Laquer will look out of place after a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Superglue might also work. I have used it on a few similar repairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
