No. Cleaned the paint out great. The only container of enamel paint was in a small paint can. They shook it at the store and mixed it. Got home and figured another shake was in order. The lid wasn't pushed on, the paint lid flew off, completely covering me, my clubs, bag, vehicle and house with Rickie Fowler orange paint............... Awful

Amazing how much further a little paint goes when spilled rather than applied with a brush! Glad you got it mostly sorted.

Did you have some left to do the fill job or had you had enough of paint by the time you cleaned up?
 
Nice thread and thanks! Brings back memories of my model building days.

How do the $2 paint bottles from Golfsmith hold up? How many paint fill jobs are they good for?
 
Have never seen the paint at GS but that size bottle will last a while. You are only using a little bit at a time.

Thanks for the reply but I was referring to the paint applicator bottle with the needle pictured in the 1st post of this thread. I like the idea of not using a brush
 
I use a cocktail stick or some special fine model makers pointed qtips. Just drop in and let it fill, very easy to control amounts too.
 
I always use a safety pin when usin Testors paint
 
Wish me luck, boys, I'm goin' in...

Not too bad for first attempt. All those art lessons growing up must still have some use. Got ambitious and did my J40's in addition to my Seemore FGP Tour. The blue/teal matches the Feeltech teal grip perfectly. Love it. The Jags may look crappy on the football field but the teal, gold and black will look good on the course.

Looks good now remember you have 11 more clubs in the bag.

I'm already thinking about the numbers on my R9's. :)

Painted this Nike wedge and a different one the same way. All the coloring before was red and black and I painted it maroon and gold (my school colors). I'm really pleased with them.

Paint Fill Tools

Last night I was painting the bottom part of my Si4 and I made the stupid decision of letting it dry over night. I used acrylic paint and I went to wash it off a few minutes ago with nail polish remover and a paper towel and it didn't work. Do you guys have any suggestions that I can try and get it off with?

Thanks guys! I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out. After I stripped the original paint, I did all the re-paint with a toothpick and Testor's model paint, wiping the excess off with acetone. It may have went faster with a paint fill bottle and needle, but all in all, it really wasn't that tedious. Key thing for me was to be patient enough to leave the paint on for about 5 minutes before taking a paper towel with acetone and slightly wiping across the blade to get the excess paint off.
 
First off, paint fill on an Odyssey putter is a nightmare to get off. Eventually used Citrus Strip and toothpicks to get it all out. Then filled in with blue & orange paint pens.
