Bought a used Dom, checks on repairs?

unfortunately being as impatient as I am I went and used the paint pen on it already so its going to be difficult for you to tell, I know what you mean about that corner being close though. I had a good look at it and it was well covered on that corner and wasn't exposed, the only bit that worried me a little was that tiny air bubble you can see in the picture, but i figured the last coat would cover that.

I could sand it down more and put some more cloth on it if you think thats the thing to do from here?

Well that would be the belt and braces approach, but it could just as easily be fine as it is. It's your call, but it's probably easier to make sure it's 100% at this stage rather than have problems further down the line. Or if you're doing a run down to cornwall anytime soon drop it into ding devils and have them colour match the repair also.
They do some amazing work

Yeah good points, think il sand it back one more time and go for another piece of cloth.

Those ding devils did some amazing colour matches so maybe il pay them a visit sometime soon for a more permanent fix. Amazing work!

thanks again for all your help

No worries. I think if I had an bigger ding I'd take it there even though it's a trek for me. Gets the board back to looking new, and when the boards stay looking so pristine for so long it's a shame to have an ugly repair letting them down!

Hey Matt_s
I think i know the history of your used Dominator, a friend of mine traded it in at Cardiff city surf shop for a sweet potato giving him a sweet potato & alternator quiver. If its the same board im thinking of it is well used and has had a couple minor knocks but woud have been taken straight out the water and left to dry out before another friend of mine woud have repaired it for him, he is not a prefesional ding repair but an old school long boarder who likes tinkering with boards and a good air brush artist hence the spray paint over the repair. Hes local to us and happy to repair boards and does a better job than i could tho he aint up to the Devil standards, his repairs are awesome!
Enjoy the board she is sweet.
