Hello everyone, I have noticed some small chips on several corners of my Ikea Besta sideboard’s coating. The affected areas are not very large but quite noticeable because the light gray surface underneath is damaged, revealing the wood or particleboard. Has anyone had experience or tips on how to repair these chipped corners as cleanly, durably, and aesthetically pleasing as possible? I would like to know which materials and tools are best suited, whether special fillers or adhesives are needed, and how to best match the color so that the repair is not visible. Any advice on surface preparation or aftercare would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I also want to encourage you—this repair is definitely doable! Especially with Ikea furniture, you can immediately see the difference after such a touch-up, and it’s rewarding when the piece is back in good condition. If you’re unsure, write down all the steps and take your time. Remember to let the layers dry thoroughly—it’s worth it! Good luck!
