For those who were from the previous forum, you might have seen my post on the paintfill project i did on my mizuno irons. I just completed work on my putter.. and here are the pics!!

Colours i used were purple, yellow and orange. To complete the makeover, grip was also changed to yellow iomic putter grip. This putter is my gamer, so pls pardon the scratch marks all over it. I only know how to paint, refinishing must look for KT heh..

First off.. naked scotty.

Makeover completed Very Happy

This is all i used.. total cost i think probably around $20 only.
- Acetone (or nail polish remover)
- Something hard and sharp, like those mini screwdrivers
- A rag
- Rubber gloves
- Small paintbrush
- Acrylic or enamel paint, i used Tamiya enamels
- Kitchen paper towels

Having worked with both acrylic and enamel paints, i think enamel does a better job coz it's very thick and easy to apply. It's also got a very glossy effect.. Then again, it's much easy to clean up after acrylic paints since it's water soluble.

Word of caution though.. please wear rubber gloves when working with solvents. The last time i didn't, and the skin on my index finger peeled very badly.. took about 2 weeks to completely heal.

Here's the link to a guide on how to do it..

Not offended.. coz i totally agree with you. After i stripped the paint i contemplated leaving it that way for a while.. but since i already bought the paint, and i had some free time, i decided to just go ahead. Maybe i'll strip it again in the future and leave it naked haha

Thanks bro!!!

Yup, i agree.. naked looks very nice too.... cheers...

Naked what?

Lingo my son....LINGO!

SC chat for "no colors"

But, I suspect you knew that and were only pulling our legs!

BTW, stunning job and I really like the colors you selected. I'm fiddling around with a little
experiment to help with improving the refinishing results without having to use heavy duty electric brushes.

I'll let you know who it works out.

Another BTW: I normally have little trouble getting the paint off my SCs but I have a Studio Design 1.5 that is not responding to either Acetone (acrylic) or Thinner (enamel). Not even after I apply some significant elbow grease. I'll figure it out eventually but sure would like a short cut if anyone has any idease.

Cheers and once again, superb job!

Hi KT u can actually use something rough to brush the arear u wanna paint and try again this is what i did for my paint work for some of my toys. Normally when the paint dont eat i will use sand paper to make the area rough so that the paint can eat in. For putter you can use a Dental tool which works like sand paper it has a sharp eadge so it easier for you to work on the area.

10-4. I may have to give that a try.

Prob is my wife only lets me play with sharp instruments and knives during the holiday season.

I know deep down she's hoping I'll lop off a digit or two and have to quit golfing.

They're SOOOOOOO calculating and clever!!

Cheers, KT
