Scotty Question

[Gligster]

Alright, Just want to know where everyone gets those scotty camerons with all the little details, dots, symbols, different finishes etc.. I was looking through the scotty cameron picture topic and saw some of the collections you guys had and really want to purchase a scotty like those. Hopefully you guys know what im talking about, not the ones off the shelf at golf stores but the ones with customs designs, paintfills and finishes. I know some people spend thousands on ebay and some other putter sites but I was curious on how i could pimp out a circa 62.

 

Thanks

Hey Gligster,

 

It all depends on what you are looking for. What finish are you talking about:

1)Gun Blue

2)Black Oxide

3)Copper

4)PP

5)Black Pearl

6)Black Pearl Mist

7)3x Oilcan

8)Coal Star

 

As for the different stamps. The following stamps can be added to your putter by the custom shop for $30.00 Each. The custom shop stamp is included when you change the finish to PP.

 

1)Custom Shop Stamp

2)Yin Yang Stamp

3)Cameron Money

 

The other stamps are mainly on tour putters and you dish out some big bucks $1000 and up. These stamps include:

 

1)Scotty Dog

2)Scotty Bull Dog

3)Pooping Scotty

4)Retro Stamp

5)Smiley Face

6)Putter Man

7)Peace Sign

 

And on and on.

 

The only finish you can change the finish to by the custom shop is PP. However, if you are not worried about it being authentic, you can send your putter to an aftermarket service such as Slighter Golf, Kevin Colbert or BOS and they will change the finish. Say you have a gun blue and you want oil can or Black Oxide or Nickel Plated. On a stainless putter though all you can change it to is 3x Black

 

Look on ebay and also on our site www.cameroncollector.com You should be able to find one to your liking.

 

Hopefully this answers your question.

A circa putter Looks great in an OC finish as well as a Satin Nickel. I think Sam has some pics of his Circa 62 #1 he had redone by BOS. Let me see if I can find some pics of my Old Circa 62 #2 I had Kevin Colbert do a satin nickel finish on.

Here some pics of the Circa 62 #2 he did for me:

yeah i would love to get something like that done to my putter. I would love to get a new finish on it aswell as custom paintfills. Do you have any contact information, website or anything for these guys. How much did it cost you to have that done? How long does it take to get it done?

 

Also would they be able to do anything like a restoration or anything on an older scotty that i have?

 

Thanks Guys

[bjackson]

custon paintfills can be done by yourself it that is something you are looking at. just search paintfills here, and you will not only get how-to's, but tons of examples. google slighter golf, kevin colbert, and black oxide services to get some .coms. hope yuo get what you are after!

[choeppner]

Shoot him an e-mail. His website is www.putterplating.com That one cost me I think $60.00 total Extra sanding would be an additional $10.00 His phone number is (612) 386-6414 and his e-mail is [email protected]. Just tell him Chris Hoeppner recommended him. The price for the refinish includes any paintfill you want as well as return shipping. Take a look at his site. He can do some resto. He also does custom engravings, and all that as long as it does not make it where the putter appears to be a tour putter. Total time for mine was 30 days exactly.

[bjackson]

yes, i think anything that passes as a putter could be done by these guys! they're great as far a customer service and final product beauty.

gligster, unless you are thinking of getting the finish changed, the paint fill is really easy to do, i've done to to several clubs. you just need a couple of paintfill bottle's from golfworks and some testors enamel. Here is a pic of my old gamer

[RobotDoctor]

Here are pictures of my Circa 1 that was refinished in BOS Patina Oil (Oil Can).

[choeppner]

I was waiting for you to post that Pic Sam. LOL

[Gligster]

yeah i no i could probably learn how to do the paintfill and everything but i really wanted to get my initials/name engraved and hopefully have it refinished because my scotty is a mess. Will they be capable of making my putter look new if it has scratches, dings, and every other little mark you can think of on it?

[choeppner]

Yeah Kevin cando that, or go ahead and spend the money to send it to the custom shop. There you can get your initials stamped, refinish the putter to brand new condition with a new PP finsih. Custom shop stamp, and I'd go with the yin yang stamp. That is one of my favorites. You won't hurt the resale either and you can get a A rating COA. I had one, A circa 62 #1 I had the custom shop do. It was beat up from here to hell when I found it, but sent it in, they restored it, add the PP finish, the Cameron Money Stamp, the Yin Yang Stamp and the Custom shop stamp. I sold it to one of my friends for $450.00 Kevin and Tom can both do it for a little less, but it would get a C coa and BOS will not remove the scratches and dings.

[RobotDoctor]

Both putters I sent to BOS were in great shape. The Circa 1 was new and the Cleveland Designed by Ben Crenshaw had very few (but light) dings on the face, none on the top line or flange.

[choeppner]

Thats why I said he should go to Tom or Kevin. They can remove the dings and all that. BOS won't. Wish they did. They would get alot more business IMHO

 

-CHRIS-

[Gligster]

how much would you guess it would cost to do some paintfills and refinish my scotty from one of those guys?

[choeppner]

Well, BOS has a Minimum order of $100 I think. Kevin would charge around 70 (60.00 for the finish and 10 for the sanding) Not a clue on TOM, but shoot him an e-mail. he is a great guy.

If you're willing to spend a little more, with SC custom shop you'll get a new shaft, new grip, and a new headcover for $110 + shipping. But if you're satisfied with your old grip/shaft/headcover and this is gonna be a gamer, the other refinisher will save you money.

[choeppner]

I say you just buy a 009 LOL. :drinks::):cheesy::):cheesy::)

 

-CHRIS-

[Gligster]

do you guys buy the putters looking all pimped or do you buy a putter and get it pimped yourself. I think I want a tour scotty but how much are they?

[choeppner]

THEY come like that. Expect to pay $1600.00 and Up. Depending on the finish and the stampings, it can go up to around 4500 for a CT or 009 and 6500-7000 for a sweet GSS

 

 

-CHRIS-

[Gligster]

so everyone on here pays that much for theres?? i see some people on here with at least 10 pimped out scottys?? Does that mean there dropping like 30-40 grand for 10 putters?

 

Also with the Circa 62 if I were to buy one from golf town or somewhere is it possible to keep the finish how it is without it rusting because ive seen a few friends whos started to rust.

 

Thanks

 

P.S Any chance you wanna sell me that circa 62 choeppner?

[choeppner]

That ones already sold. LOL Now by Pimped out, are you talking Regular OTR's that have been refinished, or Putters with the Special Stamps and all that. The Circa 62 will do just fine as long as you keep it oiled. Thats why I suggested a PP finsih on it.

 

If you are meaning Pimped out by describing just a change in finish, that is a cheap way to do it. I was figureing you wanted something like say a NP with a BP finish and custom stampings like the CT, Scotty Dog, Retro Stamp ETC ETC ETC.

 

-CHRIS-

[Gligster]

at this point im not being to greedy. I have no putter and im leaving for california soon to golf so i would really like a scotty before then.. I like the look of the circa #2 and i think the studio design makes something similar. any chance you could help me get a scotty for decently cheap i really am not worried about the finish or w.e right now as i can do that when i get back.

 

thanks

[choeppner]

Take a look here. All it is is camerons for sale.

[Gligster]

have u seen any good deals on scottys relativly new for under 200 that i should take a look at?

[choeppner]

I've seen a couple. Let me know about what style you are looking for and i will post a WTB thread for you, or you may be able to do it yourself. Under 200 you are looking at a used Circa or a Newport PP, or a Laguna GB or PP, or the Studio styles or studio stainless. We also have alot of members up in canada so they could help you as well.

 

-CHRIS-

 

I'm calling it a night now though. Dang tired and half tipsy. LOL

[bjackson]

a new Scotty under 200 is hard to come by... only putters i could think of would be original futura, or maybe a red x. most newport-ish (studio design, circa 62, studio style) ones will be more, but not much more than 225

[choeppner]

There's a couple of NP Beach 1.5's on there for under 200, A newport Mil spec for 140. And some other good ones.

 

-CHRIS-

[Gligster]

I really dont care if i spend 250 as long as its something i really like so i change my mind something under 250. I think i might have found one tho! If anyone knows of anymore tho please PM me.

[choeppner]

Congrats. Wish you the best of luck in the hunt. Let us know what you end up getting :drinks:
