It was polished ivory white. I used auto body filler extensively and found a Krylon spray paint at Wal-mart that was a near exact color match. I sprayed over the repaired areas and feathered the edges. The piano ended up looking great (not factory, but very nice).

The piano will not be refinished only touched up. What is the substance of choice to fill this area (about 1/8" deep) that will allow for the best finish matching surface for the surrounding area. I don't usually do this type of work and probably won't in this case but I am curious." David, It's called WOOD.<G> Then a mixture of epoxy and sawdust, (make a thick paste), then sand level after it sets up. Hit it with some primer/sealer. Then a rattlecan black spray should complete the job. Rub out to match surrounding area. Actually, the real issue is making that music desk slide solid, imo..
