Repairing sky marks

[Lydo]

I have a couple of sky marks on one of my hybrids and was wondering what would be the best way to repair it. It's a white head, the taylormade superfast burner 2.0 type.

Thanks.

You can purchase the paint off Ebay, but you'll struggle to repair it fully. The absolute best way would be to get it re-sprayed.

 

[Lydo]

What would it cost to get it re sprayed? And where does this, American Golf?

 

[Joff]

Unless you do it yourself, or a mate who got the skills, it's probably not worth it.

Nah you're looking more at an auto repair centre or do it yourself with a spray tin.

How bad are the marks?

I put a right doosey about 3 weeks ago. Slipped into my down swing and properly roofed the toe :angry:

Took me about an hour fix all told.

Here's the mark as it was when I got home:

Stage 1 complete:

Stage 2 complete:

Stage 3, and final stage, complete:

You can only see the mark now it you look really closely. It certainly isn't noticeable from address.

If you like I'll PM you the process and what you'll need :thup:

As I said in the first line of the reply. How bad is the scuff?

If it's just bruised the paint and not exposed any of the metal, then simply give the affected area a buff with some rubbing compound. I used:

http://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repairs/car-body-fillers/halfords-rubbing-compound

Depending on how bad the dink is, it may take multiple applications and buffing to bring the paint back up. Apply and buff with one side of a micro fibre cloth, remove with the other. Once you've got it to a level you find acceptable, apply a little car wax to the crown of the club and buff as you would a car.

If you have exposed the metal, it's a little more involved.

Clean the area first making sure it's dry when done. Then using a little rubbing compound on the affected area buff it in until the minor surface scratches are masked (See Stage 1 complete image).

Once you have it like this, find a paint that closest matches the colour of your club. If you can find a paint that comes with a detailing or pin-striping brush it'll make it easier. Apply the paint to the club head and allow to dry.

Once dry, add a little rubbing compound to the painted area and buff until the paint blends with the surrounding paint. It may take, multiple applications to get the desired finish, but don't over do it or you'll end up exposing the metal again

When I did mine (Shown above), I used a little more rubbing compound and did the whole head to give an even finish.

Once you have the area repaired to what you find acceptable, buff with car wax as described earlier.

What you'll need:

Cutting compound
Matching colour paint
2 Micro fibre cloths (One for rubbing compound, One for wax)
Pin stripe/detail brush
Car wax


........ And lots of patience

I put a sky mark on Neil Tappin's brand new Titleist driver (new model out in Nov) while me him and Paul O'Hagan we were testing clubs last Thursday

Tappers was distraught
I was genuinely embarassed
Paul laughed non stop for four holes

those coming to H4H will be able to inspect said mark and offer commiserations or smirk

Oh Mike, what have you said. I guess you could get an orderly queue to form to inspect the damage and charge £1 a gawp for the H4H fund. Is he speaking to you yet

 

[CMAC]

GM cupboard is full of replacements I would reckon
