I've got a new model 919thi that I scooped up from WRX that arrived in "ok" condition. Well worth the price, but I'm really anal about my equipment - I have...

That thing was clean to. Don't like the white?

Eguller

Yeah, it was in great shape, but I wasn't crazy about the white and LOVE the new look....

LBlack14 I've done a few and found electrical tape a lot easier to manipulate than making tape.

Have you tried the pinstripe tapes for detail ?

Nope, never thought about that. I'm afraid to screw em up.

LBlack14 Here's a bunch of Continental's work.

I must say, they had done a wonderful job on this old wooden club. couldn't see what they did on the sole plate/

ZWExton

I'd be happy with a restoration to "newish," but that carbon fiber look on the TM driver is super sweet. Maybe I should consider getting a little creative...

I dunno. I think I'd be perfectly happy with one an all-over metallic black. The sole plate is black/red, so making the crown blue would be a little goofy. You feel good about that, sd?

I don't do fancy but gloss black is easy. Sure!

ZWExton

sdandrea1

Can you create that "metallic" look that sort of mimics metal flake paint on cars? Does rustoleum sell that in a can? 😉

sdandrea1

ZWExton

I'll have to go look.

ZWExton

OK, but don't buy anything yet. When you're out there for your own projects have a look. I haven't looked at the site for that NC shop everyone has recommended yet. I might fall in love with something wacky.

sdandrea1

ZWExton

I think they get $50 and from the looks, it's worth it.

Seems the metallic finishes are mostly available in colors other than black/white, Gloss black is probably the best I can do for ya.

Eguller

Yeah, their work is worth it for a club you really like.

I've personally done a number of clubs for myself and a 'metal flake' like cars can be
approximated but not of that high quality. You'd have to use a professional service like
Continental Golf to get closer to that finish. It is fun - give it a go. Nothing lost - just time.

sdandrea1 Steve, the best of those metallic would be the one with the 'Black Night' name. It doesn't come out black at all and resembles the old Cleveland grey color, but metallic. Used it a ton and never needs a topcoat and is very durable. Do not use the blues or reds, they look like total crap; not true to the color at all. Always wanted to try a copper one, and may redo one this spring with it.

It's ironic you say that - I love the metallic gray on the launcher tl310 I have. Almost asked for it specifically! Maybe we can make it work

Par4QC gawd, we need a PM dealio here Pappy, lmao!!
