Paint filled the wings on the vokeys from gold to red, the numbers on the irons from black to white and changed the #1 to white too.


I guess you not noticing means I did a good job haha

I like the Vokey's. I'd love to do something like that but I don't trust myself.

Its surprisingly easy and you really can't mess up.

All the paint comes off very easily with nail polish remover.

Looks good. Wish my wedges weren't covered in lead tape.

What do you use to color in with? And how do you get it so precise in those small areas?

Used some acetone (nail polish remover) and a tooth pick to get the old paint out, then filled it in with new acrylic paint and used a paper towel with acetone on it after it dried to get the excess off.

Really the hardest (red:most frustrating) part was getting the old paint out.

In some instances, removing the old paint is not even necessary. I put red over white on my putter, and left the white in there. The yellow in my avatar is right on top of a school bus yellow.

You can also use nail polish remover for the wipedown as well. I prefer paper towel pieces over Q-tips for wiping excess. Get some Testors paints (cheap and in a million colors) at a hoppy shop, some toothpicks, nail polish remover, paper towels, and go for it. School color Vokeys, a putter that matches your bag, anything you want.

I will do my irons this winter (Wilson Staff).

one thing about paintfill, Im not sure if the paint is going to have enough to grab onto and really last awhile. The paint needs a surface it can really adhere to, thats why you have to sand metal and other surfaces so it can really stick. This is one of the reasons why I dont do custom paintfills and is probably a good reason why peoples paintfills only last a few months.

btw, your paintfills look pretty good, there subtle enough to look decent. Some of the paintfills I see done are ugly, lol

Testors paints are enamel, and will last on the back of wedges, on putters, etc.

Awesome stuff.

I know its superficial and they're "tools" but its still awesome to have something in the bag thats personal for you. I think I'm gonna stamp my VR's with MB in a few weeks.

This inspired me to do my own wedges today... I have the Callaway X Forged (see sig.) and just did the lines around the "X" in red. I like it.

Stamping is the next thing to do :)

BTW, I've been to the range yesterday, and even from mats, the paint stayed there without a glitch...

As requested...

Before After Like a said, a very small change... the white lines are now red. I did paint the "60" on the lob wedge red as well (in an attempt to match the red numbers on my Hogans) but wasn't happy with the way it looked so I re-painted it black.

Looks great! I'm thinking painting "Callaway" red would be awesome.....

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
