Neck coating wearing off my CA
Howdy all,
So I noticed this last gig run that what looks like the coating is wearing off the neck of my CA. it can occasionally get a bit irritating to my hand. I was looking at the other thread about using clear epoxy to fill a chip in the coat but didn't want to hijack his thread  Is there an easy way to fix this? can I just sand it smooth? or should I clear coat it? or just live with it?

The problem is really hard to make out in that pic. Whatever is going on, it doesn’t seem normal, so if it’s a Peavey model, it’s likely best to contact them.
I’ve owned two CAs, an ‘08 Cargo (which I still own) with a neck with a smooth variation of the Road Tough finish (was only available on pre-Peaveys), and an ‘08 GXi (sold) that had a gloss black neck. The neck finish on my Cargo hasn’t changed at all and neither did the neck finish on the GXi in the four years I owned it.

Well unlike a wood neck there really isn't any need for the finish. If Peavey is of no help I would just sand it down to a matte finish progressing down (or is that up?) to 1000 grit or so. I mean at this point you've nothing to lose. Later if that proves unsatisfactory you could see about having someone clear coat it with polyurethane.

This is a PRE peavey CA. They want nothing to do with it
I still have the email where they stated they do no service or repair on pre peavey models.
