Painting a driver head

[patricks148]

Ive an M2 driver and i'm just not a fan of the white bit on the crown, so was thinking of either having a go at painting it or getting a covering fitted.

Anyone have any experience of painting over this white bit or know of any company that could do it?

I have also heard of someone getting a cover fitted on a driver head that was a sort of plastic covering similar to what sign writers use.

so any idea's?

Patrick are you a member of any golf exchange groups or anything on Facebook as I've seen plenty on there.

Just done a quick search a guy at Torrance golf club does them £65 and that's them posting back. Quite nice designs. Maybe cheaper if you're just wanting a colour. His name is grant logan... I don't know him just a quick search I'm sure there will be many others out there.

Safest option to protect resell etc.

Used to be a place called bling your swing but seems to have folded as thier twitter isn't active and thier website is gone. Maybe a local car respray place could sort it for you if you wanted to go the whole hog.

Patrick, you could try plastidip, its a paint that can be peeled off should you decide to change your mind, lots of car modifiers use it as its so easy to use.

If you do get it permanently painted it'll probably reduce the value of the club when you come to sell it.

Hydro dip is the dogs danglies, i have several of my guns done with this and the durability is outstanding.

Grant Logan is the pro on Facebook who does them. He sends it to a place in Edinburgh I believe.

The best place to get it done is Continental golf in USA however you obviously have postage costs and time issues. Continental have repainted the white black on a few that I have seen and it looks superb, really stealth with the carbon fibre.

interesting, can you buy this or does it have to be done by a paintshop?

not if done properly, there will be several prospective buyers on this forum happy to pay a little more for it all black!

Didn't think you would be,just thought it was worth pointing out.
I'm not a fan of the white either.

quite fancy covering with gloss black or a grey to match the carbon

I've tried hydro dipping, it can be difficult to get right but maybe worth a try. Just look on you tube.

Jamie McCormack at Pure Forged golf in Irvine has done exactly what you want. Looked stunning compared to the original nasty white bit.

You can buy yourself and its reversable. Plenty of colours and finishes like matt black.
