I'm thinking about pimpin' out my clubs. I was wondering who else here has added some color to their clubs. Also, I was wondering if nail polish would work fine (and how long the color will last). If anybody has some pics could you post them just so I could see how some look.

I did this while bored this spring to my irons.

After about 50 rounds, I have the following thoughts:

1-Nail polish held up the best of the three different paints i used (blue model paint, red nail polish, and white appliance touch-up paint).
2-I wish I would have taken my time a little more and done a neater job.
3-I really like having red numbers instead of white on the bottom of my irons.

I did mine and i took nail polish remover and a pocketknife and scraped out the old paint. Then i got a big paintbrush and applied ALOT of paint all over the area i wanted painted(MAKE SURE YOU DONT GET THE PAINT IN THE GROOVES OF THE FACE) and then left it for 30 seconds and then wiped it all off. You have to do it 2-3 times but then it looks like it came out of the factory. Some people seriously asked me if i got them done by mizuno.

So you applied paint in and around the area you wanted to paint, and then wiped the excess away with nail polish remover?

This sounds easy, I might have to redo my Vokey wedges, the black paint is starting to disappear.

This entire thread baffles me. Why would someone take MP67's, one of the sexiest looking clubs in my opinion and paint the numbers red like some cheap prostitute?

I'd give up my first born before trying to paint my MP-67's.

I should have been more clear I used a paper towel to wipe the excess off.

I used acetone to take out all of the paintfill on my SC studio select except for the cherry dots. It looks pretty hot, lol.

LOL.  You should have used different colors, no?

Hi, all. I am painting some old Wilson clubs for a buddy. They look great so far but I'm having a bit of trouble with the Wilson on the sole of the club. It's very shallow and I wind up removing all the new paint when I try to clean the excess off. Anybody ever had this issue? What'd you do instead?

You have two options: you can just let the infill dry completely, then scrape off the excess with a razor blade...alternately, fill a small syringe with the paint and you should be able to do the infill "drop-by-drop" without actually having any excess.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
