[jcigars]

[retep]

i got new 755's. there is no line in them on the bottom, i was going to use Witeout correction fluid like i use to on the spin milled wedges, but i am inspired now and shall try some red nail polish i shall steal from my generous and beautiful wife. thanks for saying what you use to make the line. peter

Wow! Nice work everyone! Now I am tempted to do some work on some of my clubs

[WyGuy]

Just did my Cleveland wedge in red on the bottom, and it looks great. Lets just see if it holds up after I used it a couple times.

[goughy]

I've done my i3's twice now. Had a red and blue theme, but have now changed them to white. The white looks simple and classic.

 

I used paint removal gel to clean them out, a fine'ish brush and automotive touchup paint for the fills. The first time I did them I was cautious and it took a while as I didn't want to go outside the lines.

 

This time I pretty much just slapped it on with lots of overspill. I did them at night, then the next morning cleaned it up. I use a cotton bud dipped in mineral turps and the excess squeezed off. None dripped into the writting but it cleaned off the excess pretty good.

 

I didn't notice much if any of the paint coming off from normal play and cleaning. I don't practice off mats tho.

[WyGuy]

Well, here is my wedge (all my irons now have this to, it's to hard to get a good picture though). I had it red first, then switched to the blue and love it.

My first try at paintfilling I used an enamel paint anyone know the diff or if its ok for clubs?

 

Im a little conservative , just testing the waters .

 

If anyone has any suggestions of color or other words to fill let me know !

 

[vsproto]

GO HEELS! Nice work on the SQ.

I think im getting to carried away now

 

[Mudders]

Just wondering what you guys think of my first attempt at a paintfill.

[F4unknown]

nice.. that looks really good..

[Mudders]

Thanks mate. I saw everyone else was trying it so i thought i would give it a go.

I used Tamiya model paints for model cars and stuff. They are acrylic and work well, but took ages to dry. I had to give them about 3 or 4 coats!!!

[classick]

When painting a driver, is it ok if the paint remover trickles onto the crown or is that a no-no? I'd like to repaint my hibores and my new r7..

[Jer-Jer]

I don't think paint thinner would matter on the crown and stuff...it wouldn't do anything.

That looks nice, I'll have to post some picks of my new paint colors this week.

[cjaxun]

if you have pics of the nikes i would love to see them. i have pro combos and i am trying to figure out a way to do the same.

[MCP_2013]

so when you use nail polish for paint fill do you use the brush in the bottle or a toothpick?

[WyGuy]

The brush in the bottle works fine.

[vokey design]

Simple and clean..

 

 

 

now that looks good!! nice and clean, not distracting or gimicky... great job... what did you use?

[mth1081]

Here is a couple of pics of my pimped out Taylor Made Rossa TP Imola 6-02 Putter. I used Testers yellow to fill in the sight dot and the writing on the sole. I also added a yellow line on the flange. Its kind of fun to tweak your clubs to see what your buddies will say!!!

 

I have put it on eBay for sale if anyone is interested in it.

Ok guys... After I read this thread, I got excited and decided to give it a go... Here is what I did:

 

Driver and 3+ wood:

 

 

 

Baffler (Went with navy blue, but I really didn't like it, so I've been waiting for it to come off some so I can go with yellow)

 

 

Aussie Putter:

I was experimenting with some neon Orange paint that wouldn't stick in any wedges or clubs and I finally got it to stay in the sole...

 

 

On the neck, I painted the "Aussie" with the colors of the Colombian Flag...

 

 

On my irons, I painted the numbers red... That is about it on the irons, since the Carbon CBs don't have any marks on the back...

 

 

The wedges have some yellow on the sole

 

 

The 52* is pretty simple, just black and yellow

 

 

My 58* is my work of art, I'm proud of it... I spent a little more time on it... The spin milled circle is red and the BV wings have the colors of the Colombian Flag...

 

 

Here is the Whole bag

 

[boon44]

That looks great! Kudos to you!

:(

[martineli69]

That looks great! Kudos to you!

:(

 

Thanks Boon! I have to say, it's pretty rewarding to see your clubs and KNOW that no one has the same set...

 

If you are reading this thread and are debating whether you should try it or not, I would highly recommend that you do... is pretty simple and can make you feel better about your golf... If its getting cold where you are, even better... this is a nice and simple "winter golf project"...

 

Cheers

****Possible Captain Obvious Warning****

 

I did some paint fill on my irons (numbers on the bottom), and also a full color change on my Vokey wedges a couple weeks ago (thanks to you guys). I have played a couple rounds and had no problems with the paint chipping or wearing off. I cleaned the clubs with warm water and a toothbrush and yet again, had no problems with anything wearing off........Soooooooo I go to a range tonight to work on my irons and wedges game and I hit off the grass area (I hate those darn mats) and all is going great till I was done and I look at the bottom of my 7 iron and the paint is GONE. DOH!!

The grass hitting area at this particular range has a lot of sand mixed in as is the norm for a lot of ranges and wouldnt you know that sand just LOVES to eat paint......DOH!!

The "oooopsie" look on my face must have been priceless after seeing that it had did this to every one of my irons.

:(

The good thing is that you can re-paint the numbers on your own... I've painted my 58* a couple of times because the bunker eats up the paint where the number was ground...

Well I just picked up some acrillyic water based paint for $.50 bottle. I filled in all my wedges irons and woods back to stock on the faces and soles with black and white. Im gonna see how well it holds up before I try some of the other colors I picked up( green, blue, red). So which paint holds better, acrillyic or enamel?!?! I think all the clubs everyone has posted look good in there own right, if its just some more white/black or some bright crazy colors, they all look good.

[Jer-Jer]

ENAMEL

[GregMarc5280]

ENAMEL

 

Ughhh :(

[mcbush25]

updated i gunblued it

 

Is this your Christmas season wedge?? Looks good.

[GregMarc5280]

Well the water based acryllic paint was a failure. As I started to wash my clubs this afternoon and it all came off while I was scrubbing with my soft bristled brush. O well, no biggy, I only spent $3 for 6 bottles of the stuff. Looks like next up is the enamel paint, has the enamel paint really held up for all you guys!? Does anyone know if the golfsmith paint pens are enamel? Thanks.
