TheLetterSee 7 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hello, I recently found a 2008 Taylormade Rossa Monza Itsy Bitsy Spider with the plumbers neck for $28. I'm looking to refinish it and black it out myself. I'd like a matte black finish on it and I will most likely just buy a black shaft rather than try to paint it. This will be my first time every doing any kind of cosmetic work on clubs. I haven't even paintfilled before... Anyways, I have 2 main questions that I need help with: 1) What could I use/do to get the paint off of the insert without removing it from the head and replacing. 2) Since it is made out of both stainless steel and aluminum, how should I go about getting the current paint off and prepping it for the new paintjob. Also any general tips regarding how to do it, what specific products to use and what not is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

jlukes 12,696 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Citra Strip should be your first course of action. If that doesn't work you may need to lightly sand it.

TheLetterSee 7 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 I've heard to use that for stuff like paintfill. Do you think it will affect the insert at all?

jlukes 12,696 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 If it's the aluminum insert you should be fine. If it's the polymer insert I'm not quite sure Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 49F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites

If it's the polymer insert I'm not quite sureIt's listed as a titallium insert so I'm assuming it's a polymer.

RookieBlue7 1,677 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 You want ti remove it to do it right. Ive got a ghost slant s apart right now. Theyre a pain ti disassemble, im refinishing it for a customer. Ill post some pics of it apart so you can see it. Basically face comes out first (boiling water technique to remove it). Sole plate comes off next. Remove screws from body to frame connection. Remove screws from behind the face plate. Boiling water again to soften the gaskets then pull apart. Remove rubber gaskets. Done. Then you can blast and refinish.
