Dabbling in the possibility of having my irons refinished in black. I have a set of Nike VR Split Cavity irons that I am thinking of having refinished in black. Couple questions with this… who are your recommendations to have this done, for those who have gone from a “chrome” or standard finish to black how does it hold up over time? My thoughts with the clubs (see attached picture) is to go black finish, the Nike swoosh/r logo I am thinking red with the Nike swoosh and the “r” at the end in white, the red line in the middle having done white,F0B61D8B-8DBA-4286-A5B8-96FEF3721CC7.png.6831c4e2ce55585ae3b90ee486a9ce1f.png and the black swoosh in red. Looking for thoughts, would love to see a proof of this beforehand too but most importantly I want to know who you recommend to have something like this done and how well it has held up over moderate use. 

Thanks All!

The first part is subjective and the second depends on the process, but I’m not aware of any process to color chrome that will stand up to the wear of being used as a golf club.

I guess my thought was this process would involve stripping the original finish off and putting a new one on the raw material. I think it’s been decided my idea of how I want it to look will be amazing and i love it. It now comes down to if someone can do this, what the cost will be and I’d like to hear input for those who have black irons, on how well they’ve stood the test of time

Well I can’t tell you where to get it done but I did used to have black wedges and they don’t stay black forever.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
