Remove Putter Grip Paintfill??

[golfcjr]

I know this seems like a no brainer but help me out. Looking to completely black out my putter and remove the white paintfill without affecting the tackiness of the grip.

 

Any suggestions? Grip is a Pure grip if that helps.

I'm curious to see peoples responses because I want to do the same. I've blacked them out with Sharpie and a Testors paint pen before, but neither work quite as well as I'd like.

just use some black model paint and fill in the letters. i'm unfamiliar with that grip but i painted my SC CNC grip a while back lime green. it was pretty simple. let it dry and clean up with some paint thinner.

It's fairly easy to remove paintfill from Pure and IOmic grips. Acetone on a Q-tip should do the trick. Golf Pride and Lamkin grips are much harder to remove paintfill for reasons unknown to me. Acetone is ineffective against them so I've had to use lacquer thinner instead. Even with lacquer thinner it was a laborious project and required a good amount of elbow grease.

Yanki01, what kind of paint did you use for the bright green?

So far the Acetone isn't working. Will keep trying and update.

I guarantee this will take it off. However, I wouldn’t spray it directly on the grip. Spray on a paper plate or something you can toss after use and use a toothpick to dab in the paintfill area. After a couple minutes take the toothpick and flake the paint off and rinse.

Acetone worked on a Pistolini for me, rubber was unaffected.

Paint or use acetone

I have had good luck with fine-point sharpies'.

somtimes it may need to be soaked in acetone, before it completely takes it all out.

Those bottles in his pic seem to be Testors.

I believe its the mixture of clay and other materials other than rubber that soak the actual paint in. Pure grips are made of strictly California rubber. Iomic has their rubber "IOMAX" elastomer resin.

I was able to get the letters off with acetone but it was a pain in the you know what.  Will this stripper make it a lot easier or am I still looking at the same amount of elbow grease?  I just wanna black out my pistolero plus grip, not add any paint.  
 

letter paint removed with acetone.  
diamond blacked out with sharpie (these don’t usually last) 

[5hort5tuff]

Looks good like that! No matter what you use it will be a pain to remove all that white. 

 

I have used gel paint stripped in the past. Very easy to use 

[wings02]

Use a produst I used to use for putting on grips. NAPTHA HD or Lowes have it. It will not hurt the grip itself.

How did you apply the acetone to remove the paint from the letters? Thinking I might do it with the grip I just put on my putter to give it the blacked out look on the new black shaft.

Aw man, how or where did you  get that grip?  Thats the one I’ve been trying to get, but Scotty is always sold out.  
 

I used q-tips and  toothpicks and worked letter by letter.
 

I dipped the q-tip into the acetone and went over the letter briefly with some force first to get the acetone in and allow it to breakdown some of the paint.  Then I took the toothpick and worked to “scratch” the paint enough I could see some (not all) flaking, coming off (my thought to weaken it and give the acetone spaces to get in and under it).  Once I saw that, I went back to the q-tip dipping it once again into the acetone, but this time working vigorously to get majority if not all of the paint removed.  At this point all I could see were small bit here and there and I’d go back and forth between the q-tip and tooth pick til it was gone.  
 

plan on using at least 1 if not 2 q-tips per letter.  The yellow will bleed into it, so stop using that side when it’s pure yellow. 
 

I’d  also recommend having some cotton balls ready.  Dip them in the acetone when you finish a letter and wipe down any of the bleeding yellow. Reason say that is that the red bled as it was breaking down and since I didn’t do that as I went, it was a lil more work after it had dried.  
 

good luck! 
 

and seriously if you can recommend where that grip is available I’d appreciate it 😊

This topic is further confirmation that golfers are sick individuals.  I don't mess with the look of my grips but I fully support everything posted here

I have a buddy who is a club pro and very good player that has qualified for a couple PGA championships and thus gotten to indulge in some of the finer things during the tournament and he snagged this grip for me last year. Just had it sitting in my golf cabinet waiting for the right time to use it. I have only ever seen it anywhere else once and that was on ebay. several months ago

Will do! Currently still waiting for the putter to come back from having the shaft coated. Was told if I got it to them right after the new year they could have it done in 1-2 weeks. After 2 weeks I emailed for a status update and he said his finishing guy quoted him "2 more weeks"😡 but he would try to get him to get it done quicker, been a week and half so far. Weather looking decent this weekend and would really like to go out and play, be nice to have a putter. lol

[adam2883]

@rokshox71 putter should be back today or tomorrow so will work on the grip the next couple days and post some pics.

Is anybody actually looking at the grip paint when putting?

Well it’s normally under your hands so probably not. We golfers just love to tinker though.

Personally am looking at it more from the aesthetics.
