Customizing my Scotty on my own

[jfree1833]

I’m looking to customize my Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 on my own (not sending it off to SC). What recommendations are there for materials to use such as paint type, type of brush, etc? I’m going for a metallic red/gold Iron Man theme.

Sounds like you just want to do paintfill.  

testers or Tamiya paint,    Acetone, toothpick, brushes, or needle paint applicators, and paper towels are the basics.

Great to know thank you!

Get a cheap putter to test on first, is my recommendation.  Thrift store, goodwill, garage sale, etc. Play around with different techniques and applications.

Great thought! Helped me remember I have a couple of older putters I can try it out on. Would rather jack up a $2 putter than the $450! Thanks a ton!

Update- I have experimented on a cheaper putter with testors and it went okay, but still have some practice before I put it on the Scotty. I also experimented with some paint pens that were pretty painless. I have also delved into some metallic adhesive vinyl and really liked the results. Doesn’t damage the finish in the club and also can be easily removed in case I want to switch it up.

for a more permanent paint I would recommend  pin striping paint for cars. I believe its called first stop?
