Ive been reading all these posts about changing the paintfill on clubs, and im very interested in doing this to my putter. Problem is, im worried about ruining the finish and was wondering how difficult it is to do with a putter. Has anyone done this with their Cameron????

Will Acetone ruin the finish?

Will i be able to send the custom paintfilled putter to Scotty Cameron for refinishing?

I dont get why people are so weird about scotty camerons and special paint and stuff. And why people pay like 5 grand for a putter because it has special colors the 300 dollar ones don't. They scotty cameron people that do that seem more like collectors than players to me. I don't have a problem with them, I just think it's weird they care more how it looks than how it plays

I almost have to disagree, custom paint-fills NOT done by the Cameron Shop will dramatically decrease the value of the putter. But yes, there is a cultish culture around SC putters that goes beyond its practical application on the greens.

Not if you get the paint fill put on by someone who knows what they are doing, like Slieghter Golf.

ok, to refocus the meaning of the post.

If i do this myself can i ruin the finish with the acetone?

Any experience doing this?

Any info is appreciated, i do not want to send it to the custom shop.

I personally don't know the answers you seek, but if I can throw my .02 in here, I would do it myself. By the fact that you're asking these questions obviously means that you don't have much experience with paints and metals and how they work with each other (I don't either), so I wouldn't go doing something like that on a Cameron unless I was completely sure of the results.

Good luck.

no... trust me, do it yourself! It's not worth sending your putter in for a paintfill alone

It literally takes no time!

I have some tips if you want them...

1.) clean and dry putter
2.) heat with a heat gun (quickest), hair dryer takes longer
3.) acetone over the original paint
4.) pick out with a small file or a toothpick
5.) paint area with testors enamel paint (model paint, 5 bucks at toys r us)
6.) dry area lightly with heat gun
7.) using a cotton swap soaked in acetone lighly rub away from the surface

make sure you use a simple fragrant free acetone (nail polish remover)

Actually sounds easy. I'd still be afraid to try it myself I think.

So, in step 2, is that just too ensure the putter is completely dry or does that aid in removing the original paint? In step 5, what do you use to paint the area? Toothpick?

no, actually the heat loosens up the paint somewhat

step 5, you can use a brush in terms of the putter being "stainless" steel it can rust, but certainly not from acetone

Could you use this process to do paintfill on irons as well?

Sorry TeeDub for hijacking, I will bow out after the answer comes.

    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before? 
    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
