kawika5150 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I've seen similar threads on the other site, so I'm thinking of trying this. Doesn't sound difficult at all. Let me see if I have my info straight: Acetone or nail polish remover - To remove OEM paintfill, if desired. Do not allow these solutions to get in contact with ferrules, as they will melt Acrylic or model paint for desired color to use. Nail polish also ok. Clear nail polish to seal. Allow to dry a few hours. Once dried, use np remover or acetone (a small amount dabbed on a towel) to rub excess off the area surrounding the paint fill. Does this sound right? The possibilities seem endless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Sounds good, now it just comes down to trial and error, like anything else, the more you do it, the better it'll come out. Try it first on some clubs you don't mind messing up, just in case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it first on some clubs you don't mind messing up, just in case! I'm really taking my time on this, as I don't want to mess it up (as you said). I've already stripped the OEM paint off by applying generous coats of acetone and letting it soak for a few minutes. The paint comes right off, and now I have a beautiful, clean clubhead. One the metal primer dries (which wasn't in anyone's suggestion - I just figured it would be better), I'll apply the grabber blue paint via a toothpick. After that, it's clear-coat time with the enamel nail polish. We'll see how it turns out. The MP 32's should stand out if all goes well. Wish me luck...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 You can use a BBQ stick and apply model enamel paint and make sure to let it dry for 24 hours, then use an accuwipe or a tissue that has no loose fibers put acetone on it and wipe away excess without to much pressure or getting any liquid into the engraving.

kawika5150 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) kawika show us before and after pics im curious about your little project Ok, I'm sure everyone knows the standard black OEM paint. I removed it by coating it several times with acetone. This is my first attempt at this. Not bad, but I'll probably redo it since I've discovered an easier way to apply the paint and clear coat in a more even consistency. Let me know what you guys think. The color is Ultra Blue. Don't mind the condition, as I've yet to clean it up more. As you can see by the darn hair strands on the bathroom mat, I need to do some vacuuming too.

golfer_junior Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Don't use acrylic, use enamel based modeling paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
