That's the color it should've been finished in originally. Hope Mr Rife is taking notes.

Black is in the 2017 lineup. Tested during the MGS most wanted mallet testing

Ok, so I'm late to the party on this one, but what is a good all purpose stripper? I picked up an $8 putter to play around with, and I gotta get the finish off...

[Xstiffshafts]

If the finish is painted then tal-strip or equivalent will work. If it's plated, pvd, etc... you're gonna want to blast or sand the existing finish off. The group can prob help with a little more detail... what kind of putter, or maybe a pic and someone will be able to chime in with something useful.

It's a no-name brand that I forget... Tal-strip was what I was looking for- where could I find it?

[Xstiffshafts]

Should have it or a reasonable equivalent at Home Depot/Lowe's/walmart.

Thanks! I'll do the picture thing too- just gotta get ducks in a row...

Paint, any paint remover will work. Citristrip is safe to do in the house and works great. Not as fast but it's a lot safer toxicity.

 

Plated, depending on the plating, Caswell Plating makes a stripper where you don't have to do all the sanding

I've always wondered how well that stuff works

Planning on trying to paint the whole head of a wedge as a side project. I already have a basic plan of attack, but I'm hoping for some other input. Any tips?

Yes, don't paint it. You might get 10 swings before it chips

[Par_Beyond_Driven]

I did mine myself. I was apprehensive at first about doing this to a Scotty, but it turned out really well, and has held up well for the last 7 months

Imo the Wedge vs putter is an apples/oranges comparison. Putting is and should be generally pretty low impact- that is, the collision between ball and club is, well it's hardly even a collision. Contrasted against the strike that occurs on a full wedge swing... I've worn the faces of brand new vokeys down in a summer before. I was playing daily, but still, repeated impact takes a toll. Paint will chip scuff and look like hell after a few strikes - full swings are violent. I have a vokey that I did in polymer and a Callaway 3 iron. Neither finish lasted through impact with more than 4 balls. I'll find pics and post.

I'm trying a primer then paint then clear coat to see how it holds up. I figured it's worth messing around with. Hopefully all goes well, but if not I'm not really out much.

Paint might last 3 swings with a wedge. Maybe. If you're lucky.

Some in progress of the next project... had the face remilled and the siteline on the topline added by a machinist friend... Good thing because there was a high spot dead center on the face.

My Newest Project, Still needs Clear coat and finality. Thanks Ray.

My first time ever doing something like this, so it is not perfect, by any means. Here are before and after pics, although I am not finished yet.

Cleaned up nicely! What paint fill are you thinking?

Well, selling this one if anyone is interested

[RookieBlue7]

Another one I had to wait about posting till it got there...

 

A rustique DelMar Pro Plat I refinished (that's a story in itself) that had severe road rash and looked like it was drug down a cart path...

 

Stripped the nickel, removed the bumper filet milling, cleaned up the roadrash and applied hot black oxide. Topped it off with a black polymer shaft and did a custom filled (matching) CNC grip

 

 

 

 

[Jmikecpa]

Looks even better in person. Also in my defense I bought the putter in the condition that Rookie got it in....and well it was just rough. Came out absolutely amazing!
