I bought a CTC5 a short while back. It has a cheepo cabinet with a fake printed mahagony woodgrain finish.

There are some spots on the top of the set that are damaged to the point of having the printed finish completely romoved down to the to bare wood

Has anyone on this forum ever played around with trying to repair this type of printed finish.

Should I try to use repaint the damaged areas with artists brushes and oil paints?

I heard of a method of photographing the finish and then printing it on a color printer and using the print as an inlay to repair the damaged spots, but I don't know any details on how this would be done.

Any advise from those who have tried this type of repair on a printed finish would be appreciated.

Thanks!
