I recently purchased a few Callaway Hybrids for a really good price. The only problem is that the black paint on the top of the club head has been chipped from sky balls and what not. Also some problems around the hosel.

I tried googling a touch-up paint, but couldn't come up with anything good. The ones that I did find were out of business or out of stock.

I ended up buying some gloss black protective enamel paint from Home Depot. I plan on sanding down the club head to give it a little courseness for the paint to stick, then painting with the gloss black, and will finish with a wet-sand up to 1500 grit. After that I'll probably spray it with an enamel clear coat.

Does anyone have any experience with this and want to point me in the right direction? I don't want to make these clubs look any worse than they do. Thanks in advance.

My golf partner uses automotive paint. Multiple coats as they flash very quickly, then a couple coats of good car wax. Its all about the prep work.

They come out like new, and you have a better choice of color selections for a custom look.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
