Your polymer is too thick and you're spraying it on too thick is why it's wrinkling. It needs to be thinned down, atomized more and sprayed from a further distance. And you'll want a bake on product

Thx RB7, your knowledge is always appreciated.

You see the same problem here just to a lesser extent? I've been experimenting with different techniques.

Trying to do a clear paint fill on the weights for my Scotty.  Did a color fill on the numbers and let dry for days, but when i try to fill with the Tamiya clear it causes the color paint in the numbers to bleed and run.

What is causing this since the paint has dried for days and its another paint on top of it?

Any suggestions?

Yep, same thing. Adjust your air up to about 35 psi and barely open the supply from the cup. I adjust the needle valve half a round open. I also thin it waaaaaay down with the product I use. Like almost translucent. My product goes on 1-3 mils thick, which is thinner than a household trash bag. And then I bake it in the oven I built.

I'd also recommend preheating the metal so it'll flow better once it's on there and the solvents flash off a little quicker and it becomes more uniform

Yeah I have been preheating at the temp I cure at, which is about 315°-320°. I usually preheat for approximately 7-8 mins to get the solvents to evaporate when they hit the metal and leave the pigment behind. I haven't been thinning the product I use (which cures at ~315° for about an hour) and is tougher than nails once it cures. It's a firearms coating that I've seen others use successfully... I'll PM you the name and see what you'd suggest on thinning.

So I finally finished my first putter refurb. Definitely a learning experience that taught me a ton. Now I know better for my next putter. Before and after pics.

I just need to learn to get the coloring a little more even. A couple places that don't look even bit still a fun first go.

Just saw this thread... [emoji102] wow. Pretty awesome stuff on here. Keep up the good work Gents. Already makes me want to get my new putter blacked out and I don't even have it yet.

I am going to attempt a stamping on my new wedges. Trying on the old ones first. I'll be sure to put up an embarrassing end result photo.

Yeah in some form or fashion. Either strip the pvd/plating and black oxide or blast followed by black polymer.

 

Here's my gamer that I just finished in black oxide.

My first project repainting my SM6s this off season.  They were already the black finish wedges, but I decided to change them up and go with a Master's Color scheme for this year.  Here is to hoping it brings out the best of my short game this summer!

Nice job
