making a ding not look lik a ding

Post by xii » Thu Nov 09, 2006 5:26 pm

Hi guys, my stick took some punishment last weekend =( Does anyone know the best way to fix a ding while preserving sum aesthetics?

My board is a stock greg webber and it looks like the original glassing is white coloured with thin clear finish coat.

Ive never used pigmented resin before so im clueless here. Should i just fix the whole ding with pigmented resin or use unpigmented first then do a finish coat with pigment? or the other way around?

well.....if u want it like it didn't happen....i'd go a spray can of matching colour after the wounds healed :arrow: just b real light with the can...not heavy...couple light coats...with correct drying time in between....take u board the shop when u buy u can to match the colour :idea:

i'm sure others here may b offer u some good advice...vandal :arrow: plattypus :?:

If it's a stock Webber (i.e. regular white), then you shouldn't need to be using pigments or sprays, just use the right amount of Q-Cell to get a decent colour match.

Do a search for "ding repairs" or similar on the forum and you'll find dozens on helpful posts on how to do it right.

Best of luck
