Ok good
  
 Then if it's going to be black we  typically use Bondo to fill gauges,dents 
etc.  Yes, auto plastic type  filler. Since it's black it absolutely doesn't 
matter what's under the black  as long as it fills & is flat.  Bondo doesn't 
shrink either. Cool  aye? On the corners with busted edges or dents we use wood 
glued on with Ca  glue.  We call this football. It's a slick trick MIke 
Bingham  shared this with me. post him about it.   

Also small imperfections are quickly and easily  filled with ca glue.  Any 
body flippin out yet?  Yes CA. Fill the  dent with Ca & spray on the hardner but 
keep it wet for a feww seconds so  nothing turns white.  Let it sit up an 
hour & Then block sand it  flat & shoot lacquer over it.  It will be inviisble. 
It doesn''t shrink  either.

    The brass inlay  name decal means it's German.  You can spray black over 
the entire  fall board once its' prepped...as a base black coat.  Sand it flat 
with  400-600 wet & until the brass shows thru the black.  Then finish the  
rest of the top coats in clear gloss lacquer. & then rub out as per  usual.  
Make Sense?
  Good Luck
