Thread: Help-Lettering my golf club

  1. #1

    Default Help-Lettering my golf club

    I have an old Putter that I just coated with a "mirror black" powder. I would like to put a silver powder down in the lettering, but I'm not sure how to do it. I was thinking of masking most of the club, then applying powder to the area, then wiping it clean-thus leaving powder down in the letters. Will this work? Any other suggestions? I'm not the most patient or steady-handed individual, and am trying to get the best results without spending a ridiculous amount of time on it.

    Thanks

    If you can get someone with a steady hand you could apply the powder with a really fine tipped art paint brush.

    What about adding some lacquer thinner to the powder, then painting/pouring it in with a fine brush?

    If the part has powder spilling over the lettering, could it be cured, then sanded down, then clearcoated?

    Default thanks

    thanks for the suggestions. I'll post results of my ultimate decision once my power arrives, and I have time to make an attempt. Fortunately on something this small, it is easy enough to strip and start over.

    I ended up dusting it, then wiping off the excess. It looks pretty good, so I'm going to wait until I ding it up, then try and do even better next time.

    The depth of the lettering varies from one letter to the next, so getting a consistent letter "width" was very difficult.
