Launch Lab? Nah... Just a murdered Fast12 LS

Well, almost blacked out anyway. I had to throw a little color in the paintfill, so I matched it to my putter. This is a gloss black polymer. I washed it, and didn't get all the water spots off, but you get the idea. Thoughts?

 

 

I may still redo it in matte black, but have to order that material, as I don't currently have any here. So I refinished it in gloss black so I could see if I like the color in tomorrow's round. I have been playing a ghost since last year, so this is my first foray back to black in a while...

Looks way better than the stock gray/silver color. Good job!

I like the black,

Looks to be the same color as my Cobra S2. How long will that color last in use ?

As long or longer than a factory paint job. It's a polymer finish and they're much more durable than paint.

What's that?

Same question. What's that ? Please explain the application as fully as you can.

Polymer is similar to powdercoat, but it goes on much thinner (roughly 1 mil thick (not a millimeter, but a mil, a thousandth of an inch)). The application process is similar to powdercoat as well, but not quite. It's a baked finish to harden it.

You do it yourself or have it done ?

Sounds interesting.....Do you need a special gun?

[RookieBlue7 1,677]

DIY. I do all my own work and customization

[Shambles 4]

You can probably do the oven work in the kitchen, but is the polymer sprayed on or can it be wiped ?

It's sprayed, do it in a toaster oven, son't want those fumes in where I cook my food. Bought the toaster oven for this purpose.

I'm curious what sort of setup you have. Besides the toaster oven, what else do you use?

It's not durable enough for irons is it?

Looks great except for all the crap from the site hangin' over the pics so I can't get a clear shot.

No, it'd wear off the soles and faces.

That's what I figured. I have a set of Mizuno T-Zoid Pro heads I'm thinking about experimenting on. They're not in terrible shape, but not pristine either.

Great job Rookie! I love the look of it. They should hire you to design their clubs

Etch the chrome with mutation acid if you have to DIY (I wouldn't, it creates hexavalent chromium) or take them and have the chrome stripped then do either a black ox or flame finish on them. They look good that way.
