Spoon Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 You can do it yourself if you have a dremmel tool Unfortunately I haven't tried it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGAPro Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 haha, thanks bro I don't have that and I wouldn't want to try it myself, I'm much too impatient and would rather pay someone else to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleUK Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Might try that on my Onoff's.....NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I was reading a long time back that with a lot of patience, elbow grease and some fine grade sand paper, you can actually do it yourself. Then get paint remover and remove the paint fill. Looks very cool actually but I don;t see myself being bothered with the satinizing process. Someone else who has done it and to do it forme.. sure :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 We can get it done for you in Japan but it's not cheap PM gocchin, we could send it through one of the finishers in Himeji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Just figure 60-75 per head + shipping etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerobound Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 The finishers in Japan do a very great job. When the clubs are done, they will look like they were meant to be satin. I haven't had experience with U.S. finishers, I'm sure there are some good ones also. From what I've seen and heard, shipping to Japan will be well worth it. I'm not a fan of too much chrome either. I don't like being blinded by my own clubs during the summer. lol It would be interesting to see before and after pics if you get it done. Either from Japan or another Shop.

Shambles Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 If all it takes to satinize the chrome is to scratch it, you can probably achieve that with a fine soft metal rotary brush. The trick would be to find the right kind of soft metal brush with bristles that are long enough to get to the tightest parts of the club, and making a rotary brush with it. I would expect to use up a lot of brushes in the process, thus the expense. Wouldn't it be easier to have the chrome stripped and the club replated with a sating finish ?

+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 There is no big expense to scratching your irons to look satin. just take your time be slow use compounds, steel wool, and a good buffing wheel. you can do it by hand with a scratch pad just make sure you tape up any areas you don't want to scratch on accident. Also be careful not to go too deep, you can't go back. once you see copper or something below the plating it means you have gone to far. You can also go to a U.S finisher if your not a stickler on quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambles Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I suppose you have seen the process at least in part and therefore know better. The whole thing sounds a lot of work to me. It also concerns me that the plating will be reduced to some degree therefore reducing the life of the club as far as the finish is concerned. Of course, you do have the recourse of sending the heads off to be refinished if you botch the scratching. Shambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
