removing paintfill

Very easy to do . All you need is a small bucket , paint remover and a small pointy scraper . Will take you less then 20 minutes from start to finish . Let the club head soak in the remover for about 10 min and then scrap out the paint .

Had a set of 690mb's that I did in approx 1 hour .

I use the gel paint remover I found at Home Depot. I apply it conservatively with a toothbrush being careful not to splatter it all over. Usually within a couple of minutes the paint is bubbling out. Then again with the toothbrush I gently agitate the paint and paint remover till it's all out. I use a dental pick to take out any leftover paint in the crevices.

The gel paint remover sounds good. Been searching for all kinds of chemicals to solve this problem. Till now the most effective way is thinner and a needle. i wonder what scotty cameron does when he refinishes a putter. I'm positive they remove the old paint fill before refinishing cause if they dont do that the engraving will start to look too shallow and ugly.

Wish someone here could find out how the industrialists do it. What chemicals they use. I was thinking maybe they soak the putter or club in some very strong paint solvent and the paint literally melts away, then they just scrub it with a brush. But i'm yet to find out what this solvent is.

How about acid? :laugh:

I've just bought white nail varnish for my putter sight line. I found that this is best because it fills paint which is nice and glossy. And it dissolves easily in spirit or thinner. Especially for my sightline. If you need to change the sightline white nail varnish gave me the best results so far. But it has to be pure white or the fill wont look pure. Other paints good for this is enamel paint which can be bought in hardware stores. But i just like nail varnish because it has the perfect brush for the job. If you look at scotty's studio, you'll notice all his paint fills resemble nail varnish with the brush attached to the cap. Does a good job, and you have a great variety of colours too! :cool:
