jayhawker Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I have an old vokey oil can wedge I would like to mess around with as the finish is pretty worn. I was thinking of painting the whole thing, face and all black or some other color with a light spray paint, then filling everything else with white or black. Would this be a good idea? I'm not sure if black paint on the face would stay long or affect gameplay. Thoughts?

jayhawker Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Most likely won't last long and will probably come off on your ball. That's what I assumed. I was considering just doing the back, it's not worth much, so I might experiment with it. There isn't a paint that is similar to what they put on for black pearl finish?

Super Tuna Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 That's what I assumed. I was considering just doing the back, it's not worth much, so I might experiment with it. There isn't a paint that is similar to what they put on for black pearl finish? Yes, but it needs a stronger adhesive and usually high temps for drying. You won't get it out of a can at the hardware store, but you could probably get a custom car shop to do it for you. Equally neat is that shops that do chroming seem to be more then happy to rechrome clubs as well.

I was lookin to just do something for like 10 bucks, as the wedge isn't worth more than that. I may just experiment with the back then so I don't have to worry about the face.

Tyk Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think black with gold would look nice, maybe with a Tiger sticker on it? You could hang it on your wall so you don't scratch it!

It is oil can already, just seriously worn. I might consider refinishing it tough. If it had a tiger sticker on it though there would be nothing keeping me from throwing it in the water after a poor shot.

Walkerjames Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I am a painter for a custom body shop in CA and i have tried a lot of different paints on irons and wedges ceramic clear is the best(what Mercedes uses) but although it is rather scratch and mar resistant it still chips quite easy.

RoverRick Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Is that a brand of paint? Never heard of it. What exactly is it? It is not a paint. It is a metal dye used to refinish guns that get rusty. You sand the rust off then re-dye it. I got some for $9 at Dick's Sporting Goods, near the gun department. Below are two of my wedges I refinished a few minutes ago. It is clear to look at, and if you get it on something it is clear and wipes right off. However, if you get it on un-plated steel it will make it dark blue almost black. This took maybe two minutes to change these from bright raw finish to dark. You can keep applying it and they will get darker. The paint on the back does not change colors as you can see. It will wear off but just reapply.

It will wear off but just reapply. Actually, cold bluing, just as is hot bluing, is color controlled rust. The active ingredient in cold bluing is selenium dioxide, which is what controls the color of the rust (ie, it converts the rust from red oxide to black/grey colored oxide compounds) through hydration of the molecules. It changes Fe (iron) into Fe3O4, or Black Iron Oxide (otherwise known as oxidized black crystal, black rust for short).

RoverRick Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sweet thanks! Those look great. So it won't fill in the paint fill areas then? As Rookie points out, the is a chemical that basically bonds with the iron in the head. It turns the rust on the outside to bluish black. Not to nitpick your words, but you said "paint fill areas." "Paint fill areas" are no different than the rest of the club head. Areas with paint however areas with paint were totally uneffected because that surface are is not exposing the irons in the head.

RoverRick Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yeah, by paint fill areas I mean just areas with paint. I hate it when I am trying to be more precise to prevent confusion and type the wrong word and add more confusion. I meant to type "painted" not paint. Painted areas will not be affected because the surface metal is coated in paint. This may also be the case of any area that still has the oil can finish on them. I applyed this to some oil can Titleists and it darkened them but they are now a really dark brown, but not at all unattractive. Any area with paint or varnish or plating will not be affected by this stuff.

jayhawker Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Haven't done the entire thing, but I did do some paintfill on it with nailpolish and sharpie. The sharpie didn't go near as well as the nail polish, but my sisters didn't have any red nailpolish. Turned out great though. Here are some pics.(sorry, bright light)There is a before from when I put paint on and an after from using nail polish remover In my Adams Hercules cart bag...DriverPing I15 9.5* TFC stiffHook MachineTaylormade Burner Superfast Rescue 18*3 HybridAdams ProA12 20* stiff matrix Ozik Altus IronsCleveland CG16 Tour Black Pearl 4-PW True Temper Dynamic Gold S300Birdie-MakerMizuno JPX 50*-10*Piece of CrapOrlimar 56*On the wayCleveland 588 forged 62*-10*Mid-Round FuelSnickers bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
