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.

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.
