With Thanksgiving coming up next week and me taking some time off and the weather turning on me, I decided to do something I had been pondering most of the year: custom paint filling my Toulon Las Vegas. Love the putter and don't see me getting rid of it any time soon ( even with the Grandmama coming up ) so with the cold weather on me and free time, time to go play. Watching and reading up on the threads @Space Bandito and my buddy @xThor have out there for their work ( @Space Bandito is crazy good! ) gave me the inspiration and push to go give this a try.
Now for all due disclosure, I've done custom paint work in the auto world a bit so I am not a complete novice but I've never done it on a golf club. This could turn out fantastic or could be disasterous. Time will tell.
Either way I'll take pics along the way and see how it turns out. Below is how the putter looks today. Standard Las Vegas head with green swirls and green and white paint fill.
The goal is to go a different direction, specifically paint filling the underside vegas sign and Ace/Jack cards logo along with teh swirl. Targeting something like this with a few custom changes. Red and black themed with white accent sections. Planning on filling the vegas sign/cards outline in white and then red for the Ace and star and black for the Jack. Swirl will be in red to match the face swirl. Still deciding what parts of the weight will be which color.
Should be a fun time, if nothing else will keep me busy over the Thanksgiving break.
Any tips/hints/suggestions from the THP community?
