I get a lot of questions about removing, changing and altering paint fill in clubs, so I thought I would start a thread. I will be doing some paint fill changes to some clubs coming up soon, but wanted to first show exactly what I use for my paint fill projects.
People always ask what type of paint to buy. While some use different methods like crayons and other tools, I prefer to use an enamel paint. I think the look is more professional and the durability is great. There are a lot of brands out there, but the one I seem to go with more than not is the brand called Testors. They are available at most hobby shops or craft stores and have a TON of colors.
Here is a kit that I recently picked up that would make a good starter kit for people. The cost is about $10 and you get everything you would need.
8 Paints - Yellow, Gold, Red, Blue, Green, Silver, Black, White
Thinner - 1 bottle
Brush - A small thin brush
Between the colors here and the mixing and matching you can do, you could be set for good and like I said previously, the paint holds up really well.
Some use a brush, others use a toothpick, and even more use other items to work with. I use a combination of things. The first thing that I have really fallen for, for these projects is a Paint Fill Bottle. You can pick them up online at stores such as Golf Works. Why do I like it? Because they are inexpensive at about $2 and dispense paint through a fine tipped needle. Paint is not included, but once you mix your color of choice, the filling part is a breeze and really makes it easy to get into those smaller engraved areas.
Next up is the paint fill removal. I will get into the tools I use and other options as well as how to do it, coming up in the next post.
