Removing a scratch from an aluminum enclosure?

Post by Blood_mountain »

I am looking at buying a used Shallow Water, but it has a big scratch from the LED to the top of the enclosure between the "I" and "E" in Fairfield.

Any tips on removing scratches from a raw aluminum enclosure like that? I'm just a bit finicky about cosmetic issues like that.

Let me know!

Might be able to buff it out with some steel wool, depending on how deep it is. If it's too deep, maybe use some kinda filler first?
