Question What do I do and use to restore my dinged and dented strat back to its original finish?
Answer Hello Robin. Depends on how damaged the finish you could scuff it and than respray if its a nitro finish or you could drop fill every dent and ding with lacquer and sand level and than buff and polish. I'd have to see the damage to be more specific. If you'd like you could email me some pics to johhny_11_11@hotmail.com. Both StewMac and Luthiers Mercantile sell repair kits and supplies for finish.
Hope this helps.
