Hello sir, I'm doing a similar repair these days. Very similar ways as your work, but after final polishing, I found a light edge appears between old finish and new finish. How did you solve that?
Nice question! The flatter the end result the more unnoticed the hairline will be. To get it flat without sanding through color you need to slightly over sand the area before applying the color.
Its reduced up to 10%, same with the clear, different kind of paints might have other reduction percentages, you should read each products instructions! Same goes with dry times, job was done in winter with allot of humidity, took 3 days to dry... different weather conditions and hardeners will require different drying times, again, product instructions are always saying what kind of hardeners (fast, slow etc) is optimal for each conditions along with flash times etc... hope it helps!
Yes, that helps a lot, thanks! Also, would you ever sand down paint after it's dry to try and make it more even, removing scratches, blending in edges etc. before applying a clear coat or does the clearcoat take care of that and make it invisible? Any help would be appreciated.@@sonicalmods781
@@gxtx6037 ofc I do level the base! But that's something you have to do before applying it! When you fill its alot easier to prepare the area by sanding more to where color and clear will be applied, that's why I only rough the base up with a scratch pad! Nice question!
Ive called like 3 different guitar repair shops for slmost this exact kind of repair, and all have said they dont or can't do a repair for this. Telling me it would cost 3-400 dollars and it wouldnt be worth it
If the color isn't black or white it can take an awful lot of time to match it and it won't be 100%, it's gonna be 85-95%, not talking candies, pearls, metallics or other special colors... Also this kind of repairs takes really long even though most of the time is waiting time and there are alao back and forths...
@sonicalmods781 yeah, luckily its on the back side and ao not really visible. The advice 2 of them gave me was to get some really thin superglue and spread a little dab on to prevent it from spreading. It's a beautiful schecter telecaster that I got used, so I'm not driving myself crazy over it.
Thanks for the comment! What I am using is pretty straightforward, filling with superglue, spraying some black acrylic and some 2k finish, then polishing compound and some scratch remover. This video isn't a very beginner friendly tutorial in chip repairs, I get it and it's ok I guess, I am not the kind of guy telling people buy this and it's so easy to repair your chip, I live by repairing guitars not by selling products like stewmac etc, I am sorry you didn't found it useful, still feel free to ask further info, I don't mind sharing em since I ve already done some tutorials!

@@sonicalmods781 Thank you! I'll try it again.
How long do you let the black paint dry and how much is it reduced? Same question for the clear. Thank you!

What a pointless video. We don't know what products you use and you don't expain why. Might a well call it a "guitar chip fix ASMR"
