Stamping and paint fill PVD finished wedges

[Cubiedubie]

I want to stamp and paint fill my new black Tommy Armour GXT wedges. Not sure if there are any precautions/specific steps I need to take. I'm worried that paint may not wipe off the black PVD finish. Anyone have experience with this?

Not sure about the finish as related to the paint. But you should also be wary of the finish just from the stamping if you have not seen it before. Also do you know what type of metal it is? Harder, more brittle metals are more difficult to get a decent stamp on. At that price point I am not sure how soft the metal is going to be. 

Also assuming you have done stamping work before, if not I would recommend practicing on a junker club. 

As far as paint goes, try and keep it as clean as possible during the process, so you have minimal clean up. I tiny bit of mineral spirits or acetone on a clean rag or cue tip, gently wiping off the excess should work. Again not knowing how that surface will react, you may want to do a small wipe off the sole first to make sure the finish doesn't come off. Good luck.

The most common issue with this is "double stamping".  When striking the punch with a hammer, it can have a tendency to bounce, which will result in multiple impressions:

You can always get a little syringe to apply the paintfill more accurately, that way you won't have to wipe as much off (or at all if you have really steady hands).

When I used to paint models when I was a kid, I used toothpicks for filling small lines.
