Hi all,

I know the topic of cleaning/polishing the BeoLab 8000 bases has been covered, but what approach is recommended when they have a small amount of damage? (a deep scratch from a vacuum cleaner collision that needs filling/respraying)

Lee recommended black car bumper spray, but surely I need to fill the gaps with something first?

Help much appreciated,

Jonathan

Metalik £7 quid in Halfords, works a treat if you follow the instructions and don't use too much, and use very fine grit sandpaper before you paint over those lovely black cast iron bases.

Great, thanks! Can somebody recommend the exact paint to use? I haven't done this before and don't want to *** it up.
