I would think the hardest part would be matching the paint color.

Mitch, I believe Sea Foam Green was the COY in 2000 only.

Kris is right. If this is the only ding on the guitar, I'd spend my time on a perfect match of color, using nitro or acrylic lacquer.

I'd spot in some of the paint, drop by drop, allowing each drop to dry overnight and shrink back. I'd drop in more than enough paint, so that the area was overfilled. Then I'd carefully sand the overfilled area back to surface level, using a hard sponge block and #2000 grit paper, lubricated with some Windex.

Then rubbing compound, Scratch-X. Zymol, in that order, all applied with a clean cotton cloth like a diaper.
