You need the Welsh paint wizard! I don't know if Rich would fix a ding and repaint but he'd be worth whatsapping to see. Ballpark for an entire Les Paul paint job (from bare wood, sanded to 240 grit) is c200-250 plus postage. A telecaster body is about half that. He's incredible value.
I'll pm you his phone number.

Nice one. Cheers. Just spotted your DM, so I'll give him a shout. I'm hoping its something that won't need an entire strip, sand and respray, but I'll be honest, the ding is in the worst possible place. Would probably be quite easy if it was totally in the black bit, but it spans the three colours. But thanks; I'll give Rich a try.

Wotcher all. Looks like there are a fair few people who know about guitar building/repair on this thread. I wonder if there's a forum 'go-to' for refinishing? I've an early 80s JV Strat that an ex-girlfriend put a ding in a while ago and have been meaning to get it fixed for ages. It's tobacco sunburst, so might be a bit tricky (yes, the ding is in the colour bleed bit), but I wondered if anyone round here does that kind of repair and, if so, what kind of ballpark cost it would be.
Cheers.
