So Ive done some extensive tal strip testing. Finding anything and everything to slather it on to test it out. Tal strip has not damaged any metal at all. None. I declare it safe for all metals. And it will remove any and all paints. [b][size="2"]The one thing I havnt been able to determine is if it would damage a black ox finish.

So is this a safe process for Adams PVD finishes? I'd like to do the paint on my A4 Tours but would like to know what works best without harming the finish. Another member suggested Citri Strip.

I have not done it on an adams club specifically so I cant say for certain. I havnt had any issues yet with any finishes, but of course the first time I say "I guarantee it wont hurt" is the first time it does. Citri Strip works decent too. Theres just nothing like tal strip and 5 minutes... :partytime2:

i plastered the face of my 910's with tal strip and the PVD (i assume its PVD) on the titleist faces showed now ill effects. however, the tal strrip was only on the club face for at most 10 minutes.

The translucent is actually a type from tamiya. I prefer the acrylics over the enamels. The acetone is just for clean up. You don't want to apply it directly to the paint because it would strip it off. If you do the paint right and let it dry you should have a nice gloss finish, unless you use matte paint of course. ;)

You can find the Tamiya paints at any Hobby Shop or even on Ebay...

When I was doing mine I just googled hobby shops in (town name) and there was one about 10 mins away. I never even knew it was there...

+1 to your statement. Forget testors and go with tamiya acrylic only. gloss and clear are the best options imo

only thing, my wedges were brand new, only hit one round. they were vokey w/ black nickel finish and the acetone rubbed some finish off on the bottom. no biggie, now that they're broken in, the bottom has rubbed off some with play.

Just a thought I'd throw out there , sorry if it was mentioned before , Nail polish works extemely well for this.

It's cheap and available everywhere ,comes in thousands of colors ,opacities , pearls , metallics, etc. Drys super fast so you can do dozens of options in an evening and is very easy to clean up.

You can even cut it with acetone for additional transparency. Durability is very good as well and typically lasts me (on the sole) a full season easy. Back of the clubs last indefinately.

Just another option.

Nice thread.

Another question,
-whats the best way to 'thin' the paint, asuming I will be using acrylics.....will acetone not be appropriate...maybe use 'paint thinner'...what to use with acrylics? (Edit, just googled, and Tamiya sells its own thinners specifically for their acrylics...)

Also- anyone tried using a syringe with a needle to do the lettering fill and small area's...maybe with more precision and ease? Thanks

I have used syringes and needles before (I am a paramedic and my wife a FNP so they are easy to come by) and toothpicks actually work better. Less prep and all that. Tried and true usually the cheap-o things work the best!

Going to work my way up to doing a scotty as well. Practicing on some old wedges now. Rainy days watch out.
