Odyssey Dual Force 882

[mmowen01]

I picked up a old Odyssey Dual Force 882 off eBay with the intent of sending it in to get refinished. I decided to try my own hand at it and so far has turned out pretty good. I was able to get all the major dings out but am now struggling to figure out how to get the finish back. Would like to have it look original with that light sand paper like finished these models had. I picked up a hand held media blaster but that didn’t seem to do much. I’m guess part of the reason was that my compressor is too small for an application like this.

Just picked up an 882 for $5. Love your idea of bringing it back to life myself but have no clue what would be involved. Got any suggestions or advice?  Thanks.

I used a mini belt sander for most of the work along with a lot of hand sanding. Bead blasted with glass media and then paint fill. I taped off the face while sanding and blasting. The insert was pretty good and didn’t want to mess that up.
