Great video’s!! Love the restaurations

Good work Brad, you inspired me to have a go lol

I'm half-an-idiot, so if I can do it, anyone can. Looking forward to hearing about your results, Alan!

[@rickrodriguez1942]

Great video!!

[@cmetz777]

Any advice for a matte finish? Fantastic videos btw 🍻

[@matthewhurley3263]

Nice. I would love to see this with those old Callaway drivers from the initial Big Bertha series. The HawkEye series I think. I always wanted one but couldn’t afford it at the time. The ones I see today looks like they were hitting rocks or using it as a farm tool.

Hi, Thank you very much for these informative videos. Can you explain what those block like compounds you apply with the dremel are? And why you use certain colors with the small or big dremel? Im quite the beginner. Thank you for taking questions

[@BradMeehan]

The kit of polishing compounds I bought has a printed guide as to which ones to use based on the type of metal you're polishing. Let me know if you'd like a link to the kit I bought. It was inexpensive.

[@ibrodinho]

@@BradMeehan Thank you for the response. I just checked out your restoration tutorial with the D7 irons and learned a lot. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing your craft

You did an amazing job. I do have a question. Did this restoration job cost more than the value of the club?

[@BradMeehan]

I'm certain. But you can't put a price tag in your favorite go-to club!

[@PlumpHotdog]

9.9 times out of ten restoring a club will cost more than it's monetarily worth but as stated before, can't put a price on a meaningful club. I restored a whole set of original Ping Eye clubs that were my grandfathers, not clubs of note at all (can find a full set on ebay pretty cheap) but were special. Would have cost quite a bit to have them done like this. If you're looking to get into it it's oddly relaxing and goodwill has an endless supply of old clubs to practice on and occasionally you can find a real gem there

[@capitalmammal]

What are the major costs in restoring?

[@piscessaga]

Did you sand/polish the head after paint fill? Why did you choose to polish before painting? Thanks!

[@BradMeehan]

If you paint fill first, the polishing wheels will melt and chip the paint. It's too hard to work around. You won't ruin your polishing if you paint after. It just wipes off.

[@rgjusa]

Great vids. Did you just polish out the scuff marks on the crown or did you spray paint (or other) the crown? Or did I miss that stage somewhere? Thanks.

[@BradMeehan]

Yeah, you missed it. I polished it then did touch up on the little nicks in the video.

[@rgjusa]

@@BradMeehan Ah, I saw you do the paintfill and touch up the edges, but I guess all the majority of the crown needed was the polish? Am I right? Thanks for the reply.

[@BradMeehan]

@@rgjusa Yeah, that automotive polish with the wet sponge applicator takes off the scuffs without much effort. Keep it damp and moving or you can burn the paint.

[@ikigai47]

So good. But aren't you from KC? I see Packers items around

[@BradMeehan]

I'm in KC, but a Packer Backer still.

[@Martin-nd9pg]

Any suggestions on getting rid of scratches on the bottom of an old Nike Machspeed Black? The face is also black so it can't be sanded down can it?

[@BradMeehan]

You almost have to re-powder coat at that point. If you paint it, it will scuff after the first swing. I bought a small toaster over at a thrift store for 5 dollars. I'm going to attempt a powder or cerakote finish on a club.

[@cobainsaucedo]

Good work !!! Salud🍻

[@henners1489]

Hey brad. Just wondering what paint you use for refill?

[@BradMeehan]

Hi, It's Rustoleum enamel paint. You can use any enamel - even nail polish if you want more color selection.

[@henners1489]

@@BradMeehan Thanks for the info brad. I appreciate the time you take to not only do the vids but also taking the time to answer questions.

[@Unwrittenglory]

I'm looking to restore the paint on my taylormade r1 driver. What's the best paint to use? It's has a matte finish.

[@BradMeehan]

Any matte base coat, but you need to use a 2K clear (not 2X clear) for durability. Look up 2K clear videos and you'll see the difference. There is a matte finish: www.amazon.com/dp/B0178ABUVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_KTV6EF7FAJB8TCVG8W7Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 This is DIY so I'm sure OEM do something proprietary. Also get some thin pinstrping line masking tape if you have curves to mask. *Last thing: get an old $2 club from a thrift store to practice on. You can paint and re-strip it over and over.

[@Unwrittenglory]

@@BradMeehan I'm used to painting and using clear coat from scale models but I'm in a high humidity area and I'm afraid of frosting. I'll look up 2k though.

[@scottk7260]

I have the same driver and absolutely in love with it. What red paint fill did you use? Does it have to be oil based as well?

[@scottk7260]

Just clued in and looked in your description and saw what you used. Would water based paint stand up or is it oil based all the way?

[@itakeshowers3030]

That looks great, what grit of sand paper did you use on the face?

[@BradMeehan]

Thank you. I started with 400 but went lower to a 250 because I liked the more defined lines better. It's personal preference. I'd start high and go lower to see what you like best.

[@jaautre7482]

@@BradMeehan after sanding the face did you polish the face or just leave it sanded?

[@BradMeehan]

@@jaautre7482 I left it to give it a "brushed" look. I used straight lines to make it look consistent

[@tngolfgame]

Can you list and source the small brushes you used?

[@BradMeehan]

Hi, Dennis. I have an Amazon store with all the equipment I use in the video. Here is the link if you'd like to check it out: www.amazon.com/shop/bradmeehan. The brushes are in the paint fill section (if you're referring to the small paint brushes).

[@tngolfgame]

@@BradMeehan Thanks for the reply. Have you done anything where you have totally repainted heads?

[@BradMeehan]

@@tngolfgame I bought a Callaway ERC (the illegal one). The entire crown is chipped away so I'm going to attempt to paint it with a 2K gloss coat to see how that turns out. I'll record it just in case it looks cool. The original had a metallic finish and this is just a gloss black, but the concept is the same.

[@tngolfgame]

@@BradMeehan I'd be interested in watching the process regardless of the outcome. I have a club that requires re-painting. If I can do it instead of sending it out that would be great.

[@mikepxg6406]

nice job.

[@BradMeehan]

Thank you

[@adamcorken8690]

What if I don't have a bench sander?

[@BradMeehan]

Do you have a dremel? You can even do this with very fine sandpaper (like 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, etc) and get a mirror finish. Just takes a lot longer.

[@adamcorken8690]

@@BradMeehan I do have a dremel. Start with 4000 and work down?

@@BradMeehan what attachments needed for dremel?

[@Topgunsports597]

There is absolutely know way a normal person could do this. The amount of resources and tools you need is ridiculous

I'm a middle aged stoner in the basement. I bought the bench grinder for $20 at an estate sale. C'mon man.
