Paint fill your clubs?

[NWJocko]

Someone mentioned this on a thread the other day.

I have nowhere near the patience i'm sure is required, or the inclination for that matter, but just wondered if anyone had done it to their clubs?

Googled it and seems fairly common which i was surprised at so just wondered if anyone on here had done or does it to "personalise" their clubs?

Just genereal curiosity really

I have done it with mine and TBH as long as you have patience it is simple. You will have to set aside a good few hours or do them over a few days as you need to let the paint dry in between coats.

Okay folks, I'm happy to ask the dopey question. Can someone explain what this is all about?

If the writing on you putter, for example, is black you can change it to yellow or red or blue..........etc

Oh I see. Doesn't Scotty Cameron offer some sort of service where you can 'customise' the colour of the text on your putter?

Jeez you'd need a steady hand to do that. Must be fairly easy to make a complete hash of it.

Think i'll leave my bats as they are and leave the customisation to the profeshnalls

Not really you use acrylic paint and when its dry use acetone and it will take the excess off and leave the lettering filled. It is probably better to go outside the lines to make sure the paint is covering everything.

looky

I've done it to re-fill number, maker's name etc. Quite easy. I use Humbrol enamel model paint. Fill in the number or whatever with a small brush, no need to be super careful, then just put a bit of white spirit on your finger or thumb and wipe over the painted area to remove excess paint and leave a neat finish. Leave over night to dry and it looks like new. Sometimes a second coat is necessary. Try on an old club first if you want to practice.

Well bugger me, learn something every day.

Looks quite straightforward when you know how to do it.

I hadnt heard of it til the other day on here so googled it. Really surprised how common and apparently straightforward it is.

Still dont think id do it though!

Once you've done one you can't stop, my putter changes colours every six months at the moment!

 

[Bacardibatman]

i use the model enamel paints too

just trying to work out whether to redo to original black n gold (irons)& black n white (metals)

or go with some funkier colours

 

[splashtryagain]

Go funky, make em different. You build models to have that array of colours?

It is straightforward full stop. I had a bash and liked it and if the worst comes to the worst you can take it all off!

Dont knock it, I could well yet resort to that to break up my non-golfing boredom!

Maybe a cheeky Ricky Fowler orange in the wedges!

 

[madandra]

How do you get the old paint out of the existing writing?

 

[Bacardibatman]

i use strippers

 

[BROOKIE]

do you think sometimes to yourself,this is wrong?

 

[Bacardibatman]
