It's not all that difficult but it takes a lot of patience, sanding sealer, very small artist brush, 600g paper, and a little water base acrylic paint.
Basically the object is to just color the small damage areas w/the small brush w/the least amount of paint. To prep I clean the pf with some mineral spirits then spray several coats of sanding sealer. Sand lightly w/600g paper to level any slight alagatoring in the pf. Then touch up color w/sm brush. Scratches or straight lines can be difficult to hide. Sometimes using a couple of colors throughout the length of the line or just color parts of it.
Adding the acrylic paint over the sanding sealer base will leave a slight raised area so a few more coats of sanding sealer and light sanding are in order. I use a rubber sanding block to get a flat surface. Edges wear quickly so have to keep an eye not to sand thru. Repeat as necessary.
This '602 has abt 6 coats of sanding sealer and 4 coat of gloss sanding between the coats. The damaged areas arn't flat and smooth, the lacquer doesn't have a lot of filling power. Some of the damage on this one was pretty deep and on an angle you can see the ding, straight on it looks good.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
