scratch on flood coated panel

[Peter Normington]

it depends on what is acceptable to the customer.
if they didnt see you damage it a piece of vinyl would do the trick.
but a touch of black paint would be more unnoticeable.

Have you tried to polish the scratch out using "T" cut ?

[Peter Normington]

Sorry I think I misunderstood
is the dibond panel is flood coated with black vinyl?

I wouldn’t T-cut it as you will leave more of a mark and loose the gloss from the powder coat finish.

No it is actually to deep to polish it. I did smooth the scratch with my nail and put black paint on it and wiped it then of with a tissue. It looks a bit better and I am sure the customer won’t complain (going by the amount of bird-sh*t that is on it most of the time, he is not too bothered by its appearance). It is just that I see the board very often and I know it will bother me more!!!

yes

[Peter Normington]

I thought that was the case, you have done what I suggested anyway, not much more you can do.

fill it with black boot polish, let it dry, then polish off. 😀
works every time.

Funniest thing I’ve read all day.
I have done this same thing (sigh) and used a permanent black marker, very carefully.
