Ok,
Got some wood trim with a chip or scratch?

Annoying aint it?

Sitting there, mocking you... And if, like the pics here, it's on a steering wheel, you can feel it too! :(
Here's what you do...
first give it a good clean with some lighter fluid or the like.
Then grab yourself some cheap acrylic paints...

On a white plate, mix a good colour match... (I used burnt umber and black) Don't use your mum's best china y'all!

Now mix up some Araldyte, or any cheaper brand of epoxy resin... (don't get that near a plate if you wanna use it again)

And mix it with the acrylic...
For the finish you'll get, it doesn't matter if you waste a load so mix up as much as you like to get it right...

Now with a tooth pick, dab some of your epoxy colour into the chip, using a clean pick to clear up any excess...

Leave it to settle for a bit and use another pick to level it off - if it domes - out from the surface, use the pick to remove a small amount or use the pick to add a small aount if needed...

Allow it to dry and admire your handywork :)

It really is that easy peeps - give it a go ;)
