So, I'm thinking of painting my R7 Superquad white like the R11.  Can anyone recommend paints and a process of how to do this so the result will look somewhat professional?

My reasoning behind this idea is I really like the alignment aid the white top line will have in contrast to the black face.  Although I like the R11, I feel my driver is a bit more forgiving because the face are is a bit larger.  The white TM Burner has the face area I like but I can't get over the shape of the head.  If you could get the face area of the Burner with the head shape of the R11, that would be a  perfect driver for me...essentially I'm trying to create it with this idea.

Any advice is much appreciated.

I painted a used TM r7 425 w/ a WSU Cougar theme. (see post here)

I sanded it down and then used automotive primer and automotive spray paint (cans) in gray and crimson.  For really crisp lines, instead of regular painter's tape, I used some flexible modeling tape I got from the hobby store.  It's made to go around curves, etc.  I also picked up some 'make your own decals' paper at the hobby store and printed my own graphics on my laserjet printer.

I was very happy with the overall look and got alot of compliments from my fellow Cougar grad friends.

One thing to note, however.  After I played and hit range balls with it for about 3 months, the paint job developed a very fine crack on top of the club, just above the middle of the clubface.  I'm not sure if it was a primer issue or perhaps there is something you can add to the paint to make it more 'flexible' after it has dried?  There's also a company called 'colorware' that will color / paint just about anything (iPads, PCs, XBoxes, etc).  They did a 'Pokemon' Taylormade driver.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
