Paint fill???

Hey GolfWrx -

The paint on my Mizuno MP32 Irons is coming out on the sole. I want to refill the paint and possibly a different color. Not exactly sure what to use. Some friends say nail polish but I'm wondering if there are any alternatives??

Thanks!!

This will tell you everything you need to know about the topic.

Thank you!!

Go to Hobby Lobby and buy some Tamiya paint there, but paint on the sole won't stay on long

Just buy $0.99 nail polish. The bottle will last for a long time, and the paintfill will probably last 2 seasons.

Testors model paint

The tamiya paint I got at HobbyTown was like $2. There are lot of different colors in glossy, matte, translucent. Plus you wont get weird looks in line unlike if you were to buy nail polish.

no tamiya at my hobby lobby so testors will do. i've done my #'s on my irons a few times already.

I started doing fills years ago with cheap-o $0.99 nail polish, and was quickly looking for better alternatives.

Fills lasted about 10 rounds on the sole and some chipping on MB overlay fills.

Tamiya & Testors are more durable paints with more color finish options IMO. And overfills clean up easier (less smearing).

Both brands can be found in the $2.00-$3.00 range, and will last longer on your clubs.

Haven't re-filled for 20+ rounds, including practice. Hope this helped. Cheers!

What did you use to remove the existing paint? I'd like to do the reverse and have no paintfill on the numbers.

I bought the cheap hobby lobby paint then used some of my girlfriends clear hard as nails polish and I haven't had a chip in my numbers yet. It's been well over 50 rounds plus range time.

GOOF OFF makes a variety of solvent removers, they are by far my favorite.

Don't forget to use a Q-tip applicator or all your hard fill work will be garbage in seconds!!

Some guys suggest cotton balls or old rags, but you can be super precise with a Q-tip.

Also, if your wife has make-up sponges for flat smooth surfaces like the sole. They are soft and semi-rigid, works great!

If the enamel is stubborn in the corners, which it can be, use the GOOF OFF and brasswire bristle brush.

Hardware stores usually sell paint pens that do the trick
