Hello everyone,
I have owned an Ikea Besta piece of furniture for some time now, which I actually like a lot, but unfortunately the surface has worn or been damaged in some areas. Specifically, there are small scratches and spots where the paint or veneer has slightly peeled off. It is important to me that the repair stays as inexpensive as possible since it is just a cosmetic issue and I am not expecting a professional-level solution.
Has anyone had experience with how to best repair these kinds of surfaces on Ikea Besta furniture by yourself? What products or techniques would you recommend to discreetly and affordably fix the damage without having to buy expensive specialty items?
I look forward to any tips, instructions, or suggestions on materials that would allow me to carry out an acceptable and low-cost repair on my own.

Regarding durability: Repair products such as touch-up pens or wood filler are generally less durable on high-traffic surfaces compared to the original surface coatings.
For light-colored surfaces, I mainly recommend RAL 9010 or similar pure white shades. Mixing colors only makes sense if you want to match the exact tone.
To increase durability, repaired areas should be sealed with a clear protective varnish after drying. This helps reduce signs of wear.
