Spray Paint a Scotty

[kuteazn1]

is it a good idea on a cheap route to spray paint a Circa 62 #2
with flat black spray paint, spray everything else but the putter face...?
or is there another way... to do this with out sending it away to get it restore.
I want to game it, but don't want to live with out it either...
there is just a little bit of rust on the bottom...

thanks

I have a Circa 62 #3 that I played with in the rain and the next morning noticed it had rust spots all over it. I used a toothbrush and a Mr Clean Magic sponge to remove all of the rust, then sprayed it with WD40 and whipped it down. After a round I spray more WD40 on it and whip it down, I don't put the head cover on it for a day or two to make sure there is no moisture on the head or in the head cover. So far this has worked pretty well, no more rust spots.

I wouldn't say it's a good idea, but it's your putter. As long as you don't plan on selling it somewhere down the line, then go for it. If you want better results than spray paint, contact some local auto repair shops and ask about powder-coating.

BAD IDEA, once the paint comes off you could be left with a rusty putter.

I refinished an old scotty on my own. Here are the steps I followed:
1. strip the old finish. Either "coke it" overnight or use naval jelly or whatever, just get it raw.
2. use brillo pads to get it raw, no rust!
3. use birchwood casey gun blue to refinish it.
4. seal it so it doesn't re-rust.
5. re-paintfill if necessary/desired

hope that helped. pm me if you have any questions.
