Hey guys, I have a friends guitar in for some finish repair and I'm not sure how to go about it. He dropped it and busted a fairly sizable chunk out of the top. I repaired the wood but I'm not sure how to touch up the color. It's a silver-burst polyurethane finish. I only have to touch up the black but I'm not sure what to use because I know it won't burn in but my friend doesn't really care about witness lines he just wants it to be black and smooth. Any suggestions?
