is it possible to repair aa chromeboy paint?

lets say the damage is pretty bad

is it possible to have it repained by ibanez or something that will be same as original?

Ibanez couldn't get it right the first time, why would you pay their prices to let them hack it again? Im sure one of our vendors can do it. There's a ton of threads about Chrome finishes, the search function is your friend.

Not the worst I've seen. If it we're mine I'd leave it.

Meh. Leave it. It's actually got some character.

I don't see any damage. I see wear.

To me, you either buy a guitar to play, or you invest in a guitar for it's resale value.

if you "play" your investment, you're going to ruin it's value.

With your guitar, that ship has sailed. I'd just continue enjoying playing it. Let it live out it's history! Enjoy it for what it is.

I'd leave it like it is, I agree with GLG. It is wear not damage in my eyes too.
Plus if it was chrome there still it would be all hand-printy haha
