Headstock Chip Repair - advice wanted

[Nostromo]

Could do with some advice here,

I've got this really nice early 80's Japanese Jazz Bass Special with a chip out of the headstock front surface at the top edge.

The headstock front at the edge is just a shiny black mirror finish like a black piano finish.

Wondering if anyone knows if this can be repaired ? . . and if so, better still, can anyone recommend a repair luthier in the south west UK who could do a good job at repairing it ?

Here is a photo (not brilliant as its taken on my cheap mobile phone) but it does show the chip damage:-

I'm not at all into relics ! . . and in every other respect this guitar is in almost mint condition, so I'd really like to get it repaired if its possible ?

Any advice gratefuly received.

Build up using layers of black nail polish, sand flat, polish & seal with a couple of layers of clear varnish.
