Sanding
Prep surface sand with 150 grit and block on effected areas
Fill
I use Mod-Podg mixed with baking soda until smooth as a filler but wood filler may work just as well.
Final Sanding
Sand the filler smooth with 150 grit the sand entire surface with 220 grit.
Mix Paint
Mix paints to best match lightest color. Apply to all surfaces sanded. Water down brush and taper blend edges.
Add Detail
Mix paint to best match grain and with a fairly dry brush ease on grain marks to match surrounding areas
Apply Finish Coat
My surface isn't very glossy. I have applied a Matt base Mod-podg to protect the paint. The glossier the surface the easier it is to see blemishes.
