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.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
