Paint fill your clubs?

[harpo_72]

Any suggestions for removing light scratches... Might as well do it once the paint fill is all removed.

Depends where the scratch is really. It might buff out/flatten if it is on a non contact surface, anywhere else, I'd leave it alone in case you make it worse.

Its the sole of the putter, just thought something ultra fine and then polished up would do the business.

I cannot find the putter restoration thread where toilet duck was used nor can I see the finished pics of the blueing ...

Yup, I used some micro mesh on the sole of mine, a couple of fine grades, just depends on the depth of the scratches. Have a look on ebay

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.

cool cheers. This attempt looks a lot better, for some reason the blue paint i have doesn't settle as well as the white or yellow.

Ah struggling to upload pics anyway paint removed, waiting for the enamels to arrive. I have very lightly sanded down the head's face and sole, I'll clean with the acetone before applying the paint.
I used paint thinner to remove the in fill, but this was slow, I got some stripping gel and this was much more effective.

Usually a jewellers flathead screwdriver will scrape the old paint out easily as it is quite brittle.
Are you using Photobucket to upload pics?

Yes, photo bucket. I used a pin to persuade the stubborn bits out, but the paint stripping gel was the business.

First round of paint fill, so far I am building up the layers.

 

[harpo_72]

I am still waiting for colour number 2 to arrive however the pitch mark repair tool has arrived and been stripped and paint fill applied to that as well. I have order some clear gloss as well has anyone tried this before? I did use the nail varnish gloss but it caused bubbling and crazing so I removed and restarted.
Suffice to say I am becoming impatient with the 2nd colours slow arrival and now I have dragged another of my old putters out and started to give that some attention. It requires some stripping and rubbing and then re-sealing so and any suggestions would be great regarding re-sealing.

So far so good Harpo, it is addictive though, you start looking round for other things to do, keys etc haha.
BTW local toy/model stores will do the paints as well as halfords too.

 

[harpo_72]

yup was ordering off amazon, but if its not arrived by tomorrow I think I will be taking the boy out for a shopping spree... he usually goes with his mum, but I think he needs to learn how a man shops

I did mine about a month ago now. Cleaned them up with a wire brush, repainted white line on the face and painted in the numbers. I used some of the wife nail polish which worked a treat.

 

[harpo_72]

That looks good! I was thinking of a full colour change on my irons, but common sense took hold and I'll just re black the soles.

 

[harpo_72]

Having a little problem with my secondary colour, the paint is quite thin

[harpo_72]

Just got to do some tidying, the blue looks a little hit or miss, but when it dries its quite okay. I have got a pitch fork as well which is getting the treatment. I did wonder about the grip being changed to something blue and white but its really new and the leather ones don't come in white or blue with blue or white stitching. I have considered a headcover but it will be too expensive unless any one has a suggestion.
