RookieBlue7 1,677 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 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...

Shambles 4 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 What's that? Same question. What's that ? Please explain the application as fully as you can. Shambles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RookieBlue7 1,677 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 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.

They're not in terrible shape, but not pristine either. 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.
