Thanks Hawk, TC and Gray. I am glad you guys like it. I thought about doing a wedge first, but I just couldn't wait.
I would be more than happy to oblige. It is a fun process and I will only get better at it.
I got it at a hardware store. Testors paint is used for model cars and such. It should last for the life of the putter, but I will probably change it up from time to time.

What is the next project Seth?

Seth, I'm curious if you think automotive touch-up paint would be a better option for durability? I would be interested to see your results on a wedge or an iron. And then even more interested to see how model paint holds up in play. I have just acquired my fathers ancient Dunlop Maxfli Australian Blades (3-PW). They are in pretty good shape from a groove wear standpoint, but the paint is worn/chipped in all of the lettering. I think it would be nice to refurb them.

Nice job Setho! I was gonna do this to my TW blades but after trying to get the fill out of the TW logo for 30 min I gave up...I don't have the patience. That putter looks awesome though!

Next will be my wedges. I just need to think of what color I want them to be.
I am probably going to leave my irons alone, but I am going to do some wedges soon. I have no clue if auto touch-up paint would be better. We will see how Testors holds up soon.
haha. That sounds like some tenatious paint.

Can I ask how you removed the old paint? I'm thinking dental pick or something similar. Perhaps a bath in acetone?

absolutely you can. I used q-tips dipped in acetone. I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed till the acetone started doing its magic on the paint. I then took a tooth pick and scooped the paint right out. I would advise against using a dental pick or anything metal as it will put little scratches on your finish/in the metal. I might make a little video when I do my wedges.

i would assume that you could soak the head in acetone as it should only affect the properties of the paint. it may save you some labor as well for future endeavors setho. btw, don't you need to update your witb? and perhaps share a pic or two of your newest weapon!

That is a good idea TC. I would change my WITB, but I don't like it now that I have played with it on the course, so I am giving it to Rick and getting my old setup back. I am going to buy a 10.5 Supertri head with a regular flex shaft and put the old 460 on the R Flex shaft and give that to my dad and put the SuperTri on my Kusala. Easy as pie.

What finish are your wedges?

Ooooh. I like it. Im thinking A dark Blue or Purple. You could even go with a red. Then get the shafts "Vibranted" to match. That would look incredible.

yeah, the indigo on the Oil Quench would look incredible. Especially if the paint fill matched up. Not going to lie, now that I think about, Pearl White would look incredible on the shafts of those too. Then to a little metallic paint fill or go crazy because most will match white.
