Re: Can you fill scratches on a B&W?

[Amanda Ward]

I had some light scratches on the base of my studio display and on the 
B&W. I used a nail buffer... kinda like a nail file, but a lot finer. t 
has 3 grades of abrasive on it. The first (light grey) is the roughest 
followed by a reddish grade for the second step and finally dark grey 
for the finish.
The light grey pad was just right for the stand of the display and the 
dark grey restored the shine to the Apple logo on the front of the B&W.

If you have some deeper scratches, start with some really fine wet or 
dry sand paper with a little water to soften the scratches and then use 
the nail buffer. (I did that to restore the clear plastic face of the 
Walkman that fell off my backpack and slid face down across a parking 
lot.)

I bought a B&W G3 from the swap list recently and the post office 
dingled the poor baby up a bit. I got the broken handle replaced, but 
there are some light scratches on the clear plastic side. Is there 
anyway of filling/painting these to make them disappear?
Thanks
