Repairing Small Scratches in Olive Facia

Posted by: paulj on 04 November 2018

Gutted, I had a small pile of papers fall from bookshelf on to my hifi and has left a small but noticable scratches in the olive facia. It's on my supercap which seem to be hard to find these days. Is there any way I can repair the scratch

Personally I have never repaired any defect on anything to my satisfaction, so I’ve learned not to repair them but to live with them and eventually they fade....not from the facia but from your eye. Every time you look at the facia you’ll see the mark but it will become so routine that it eventually disappears from memory into the background,  never to raise its head again unless you’re unfaithful and want to sell it.

What has it scratched? The front of the "mask" of the s/cap ? If so I think they may be stencilled from behind so it may polish out ?

Will have a look at my olive when I'm home and see if I'm talking rubbish..

Think of it as patina and it will be fine. A sign of life.

You could speak to your dealer who could ask whether Naim have any spare Olive fascias left.

A new Nova has adhesive film covering all of the acrylic surfaces (logo bar, screen and volume knob). I have not removed any of this protection to prevent any similar little accidents...

It might also be worth giving Darran at Class A a call, I know from his website he has chrome bumper 135 fascias, so you never know what else he might have. (Having just used Google to get to his site which I have not bookmarked, I can’t help wondering whether fairly frequent searches for “Class A Sheffield” have me on a South Yorkshire Police drug squad watchlist.)
