Paint fill your clubs?

Did my new (to me) mp37's seeing as the original blue was a bit tired looking.
I used a similar scheme to my AP2's earlier in the thread.

During, I played about with all white but didn't fancy it.

Nice looking job Brendy. Certainly brings them back to life. Will you be using the 3 iron to shave with ?
Haha, for those moments when cheese slices are just too thick and need splitting! 
Actually there is a 2 iron in the range which would do me great at some of my home club's par 4's.

Thought I would give this a go today, bit of a learning curve but happy with the results as it was my first go.
Changed the numbers on the irons to white.
Stripped everything off the sole of the putter, the tick on the face and the bits around the weights in the back and changed it to blue/white/yellow.
Driver is just the i20 in blue/yellow.
@brendy - how many coats did you apply?

Looking well fella, really freshens them up doesn't it?
I used one layer as the paint is thick enough to fill the indentations easily enough. It is such an easy job if anything should ever fade/break, 10 mins will sort it. If really want it to last, I know that a little top layer of nail varnish will do the job great and give it a little more durability again.

Nice work guys. Done my numbers and brand letters red a few months ago as the standard black was starting to wear.

I have decided to do SC square back, seeing as it is looking tired. I was going to send it off but I can do this myself.
Good man, get some pics up. Before and after.

Sorry if its been asked previously in the thread.
These look great, it really does freshen them up! What do you need/use to do it? Would love to do my irons into a red and white colour scheme!

Did mine the other day in shocking pink. I used some of my daughters nail varnish instead of paint.
I used both enamel model paint and automotive red paint (halfords chip repair kit, they have loads of colours haha).
Acetone is habdy to help wipe away the excess and if you were feeling fruity, clear nail varnish to seal it in a little harder making it even more durable.
So, bits required:
Paint
Fine brush or sharp implement to apply paint, doesn't have to be accurate as you wipe the excess off. Sharp implement also removes old residual paint.
Acetone
Nail varnish..optional
Fine cloth to soak acetone onto when cleaning up excess paint.
Couple of tips..
Do not use towel type material as the deeper pile construction lifts the paint back out of the indents which you want to leave as much in there as possible.
Some folks use one layer of paint, some use two, it's down to personal preference really. Both will be fairly hard wearing.

Brendy or anyone - whats your finish like? is the paint smooth? i've redone the 'method' bit in my putter about 3 times now. Using acrylic paint and it just seems to dry a bit lumpy almost.

Just make sure you don't go OTT and paint fill the front of the club too!
Use the paint straight from the container. work from one end (never go back over your work, clean it off and redo it) and dont touch it for 30 mins once it is on, as it is still liquid, it will settle down, if you give it plenty of time to dry then use a smooth cloth with acetone soaked onto it, it will rub away the excess and leave a smooth finish. I found a quick across and back action lightly did a better job than putting too much pressure on it, the acetone will do the hard work for you.

thinking about doing a few clubs myself. best just to use humbrol matt (rather than satin or gloss)? how long should i expect the paint on the sole numbers last before i'll need to redo it again? presumably best to give it at least a couple of coats.
Ive seen it last years so could well out live their usefulness with you!!
I found it easier to just throw on the one coat.
