Homemade Oil Can Finish

[Spectrums]

Is this possibly to do?

I've heard of using cola, but wouldn't that leave a sticky residue?

Suggestions?

Cola is for removing the Oil Can finish. If you have the club down to the raw metal, you can heat it up with a torch and submerse it in oil. There is another thread that discusses this process extensively.

Could you point me to this?

I want to try removing the oil and then putting gun blueing on there, anyone try that?

[Spectrums]

That's the effect I'm looking for, the gunmetal/old look.

I'm thinking of taking off the finish on my 60* spin milled and then using the birchwood casey gun blueing kit. Figure steel is steel. Just wondering if there are any tips to doing it, cautions, etc. I think it's going to be a unique and great look. also I think its legal to do because it doesnt change the spin characteristics.

I don't know how to post a reference to another thread, but the thread is titled "Vokey Oilcan - Need to refinish." The thread answers the rest of the questions above as well.
