Brushed Oil Can Finsh

T-Gates · April 27, 2010

Who can do it?

Picked up a TeI3 Newport and I'd like to refinish it. Part of me wants to go all original with the gunblue. (Had one just like that circa 1999 and brings back fond memories.) But I had the thought that it would look pretty sweet with a brushed oil can finish like I've seen on 009's.

Any ideas on who could do this for me?

Gotta Golf Studio in Greensboro, NC. PM me for info as I'm not able to post commercial here. This is a purple haze oil can.

this is not a shot at the sweet abaco pictured above, but i hate when companies call that an oil can. since that is an SS putter, you cannot legitimately oil can it. that finish is a polished torched finish. the difference is with the torched finish, its just torched, not dipped in oil, and the oil can is quenched in motor oil to get its finish. really cool finish on the abaco, but i didnt want the OP to think that was a real oilcan.
just my thoughts.

most oil can finishes are variations of a black oxide finish and not quenched in motor oil.
