Don’t forget the importance of stripping the old paint! Using a paint stripper or sandpaper can ensure the new paint adheres properly and looks professional.
Good point! Also, I’d suggest wearing gloves while doing this to protect your hands from the chemicals.
After preparation, I like to use painter’s tape to shield the areas I want to keep paint-free. This really helps in achieving clean lines.

Great tip! And use spray paint for a smooth finish. Just make sure to spray from a distance to avoid drips!
I’ve seen some people use a primer before the color coat. Is that really necessary? Just curious if it changes the durability of the paint.

Using primer can enhance the longevity of the paint. It helps the color adhere better and provides a uniform surface. I definitely recommend it!
What are the best paints to use for this? I want something that withstands wear and tear on the course.
For durability, look for automotive paints or specialized spray paints for metal. They offer great resistance to scratches and the elements.

Great topic! To maintain painted golf clubs, always clean them gently with a soft cloth after each game. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip paint.
Absolutely! You can also use a mild soap solution if they get really dirty. Rinse and dry them thoroughly to avoid water spots.

I haven’t, but I’ve read that it can protect against scratches! How long does it typically last?
I usually apply a new coat once a season, depending on how much I play. It helps maintain the finish.
In addition to cleaning, keep your clubs in headcovers whenever they’re not in use. It really minimizes the risk of nicks and scratches.
