Crazy Idea...

[CJL]

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.

maybe sanding it down like you would a motorcycle frame and getting it powder coated

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.

Thanks for the help.  I think that is definitely enough to get me started...I just hope I don't  make a mess out of my R7
