Quick one for you UGB. My fernandes strat copy has a half-inch chip in the finish where the lacquer has broken clean away, exposing bare timber. The guitar has a three tone sunburst and the chip is right on the edge, so it's virtually black. (Very warm browny-black) I know that the appropriate finish's are available in the USA but since I'm living in Australia and they are nitrocellulose based products, getting them here is a big (expensive) problem.
I've done a fair amount of research via the web and know about suppliers like the Guitar ReRanch so please don't waste any of your time on this. I'm really just asking if you know of anything off the top of your head as it were, that I can use as a substitute and which might be more readily available? Hopefully, a bit more permanent than the nail polish, (eg. General hardware or paint shop product)
