spraying clubs

[JT77]

ok, so its a bit left field maybe, but I was wondering if anyone has ever sprayed a club?
I have an old chipped hybrid, and was going to try and remove the paintchips and respray it.
it will more than likely be cut down for the wee man to use, so if i make a mess its no biggy, but was just looking for tips if any one has tried it.

cheers

I sprayed a junior 3 wood white once and presented it to one of our more vertically challenged forum members last year at Woodhall Spa.
It came out quite well. Looked just like a mini R11
I would guess you'd need at least 4/5 coats of paint and 2/3 coats of lacquer to stop it chipping.
What's the worst that can happen?
Go for it

Never tried it but you would be best to strip all the existing paint off, be that with some elbow grease or some stripper of some kind, then give it a good rub with some wet and dry paper to key the surface. Once all that is done you will need an undercoat that will eat the surface of the metal and then several coats of paint and lacker.


Oh and of course masking the face, sole and shaft. It may be less expensive to buy a new club.



Do it badly and it will look shocking, do it well and it may look good.

Interesting, not done it myself, however after seeing Bubba's pink thingy (his ping driver) at the weekend I quite fancy a go, maybe lime green or lemon!!

Another option would be to strip off the paint and buff the head up with a bit of wire wool. Nice finish and completely maintenance free!

Good tip for getting the paint off with a liquid stripper: after the 30 minutes or so, dump the coated head into sawdust and rub. The sawdust gets rid of the awkward bits of paint then clogs up all the gunk and paint residue into a manageable mess.
