Regarding the color, no reason you can't paint a steel shaft. Just rough it up good with sanding cloth and use an automotive rattle can paint.
Landon, regarding my earlier post about using a stepless Iron shaft, it could have been a longer stepless putter shaft I nibbled down to get the proper ID. The shop I bought a post head from I think sold me an Apollo 40" or 50" stepless putter shaft that I had to trim about 4" or so off of the tip then butt trim to length. It's been too long for this geezer brain to remember.
