    Default Lacquer Finish Repair?

    I am aware of the way to refinish lacquer finish on wood. Would it be safe to say the same basic process is what you would do on a lacquer finish pen?

    This was my first attempt which didn't turn out to bad. However it was a experiment so things can only get better.

    I should have known to look for a video from you
    I will have a Parker Sonnet soon which has some scratching on the surface. I am pretty confident I can fix it and add lacquer. My real concern is the metal trim. Mainly the metal ring. I don't think taping it off will be enough.

    The pen this post is about should be here today. Between then the other day I have looked at photos of it. I think the scratches in the finish can be repaired by using the simple scratch removal process such as the one you mention in one or two of your videos.

    Good luck with your pen. Just go easy and have lots of patience, im sure you will get there in the end.

    Well I finally received the pen and I think the original owner was being over critical. Anything I saw wrong with the finish could have been buffed out. However, yesterday I dropped it barrel end first onto the blacktop in the street. Now it has a ding in the finish down to the brass. I am thinking I might look into having a local professional car painter or perhaps metal body model builder work on it. It's a small ding but enough to bug me. Luckily I post my caps. So, I don't have to see it while I write,lol.
