I recently bought a b-stock inexpensive archtop, which had a small chip/dent on the top near the edge. It's discolored, but it was then re-finished without restoring the color, so it's smooth to the touch, but looks like a chip, about a quarter-size or less.
I am thinking of a cheap way to hide it.
I thought I could glue on a decoration of some sort, but haven't come up with what it could be (it's a little below the tailpiece).
I also thought I could spray-paint a small design on the edge there. I could either use black or gold paint (I am "gretschizing" this guitar and using gold hardware).
What would be the type of spray paint that wouldn't easily rub off of polyurethane? acrylic maybe? something I could find locally, not some specialty guitar thing. Preferably a glossy finish.
other ideas for covering it are welcome. I've also thought about a simple pick holder, but those don't stay put too well. I prefer the "wedgie".
THanks!
P.S Here's a pic of the damage:
