tapoutdouble Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 What's the easiest way for someone, who's not very handy, to restore a scotty? I'd like to try black oxide to color the head and then use a paint to fill. Any suggestions or tips? It's a Scotty Cameroon studio Newport 2 mid slant.

cnosil Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I am assuming studio select which is a plated putter. The problem you will face is that you will most likely have to remove the plating to do a refinish. This would require some bead basting if some type. Doable but probably more work and expense for someone that just wants to do one putter. You could outsource the removal of the plating and then do a black oxide treatment. If you want to go that route you could check with powder coating places in your area to see if they can remove the plating for you. Basically, From there you need to decide on matte or shiny and then prep the putter by sanding/polishing. Then apply black oxide. Finally do paintfill and cleanup I know high level and more details can be provided. I think there are some threads on here or you could look on WRX where there is lots of explanations on refinishing. Big question mark is original finish to be able to black oxide Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: TM-180 Testing: Backups: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RookieBlue7 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The studio select isn't plated. It's stainless steel. Stainless steel will not take black oxide. You'd need to do a chemical blackener but it won't get deep black, more of a grey.

For the OP, rookie blue is the expert on putter refinishing.
