Subject: Can anyone please post instructions for refinishing (painting) a metal wood head?
I have an older Golfworks reference repair book that describes the use
of a two part epoxy paint that is no longer available. I believe that
an automotive finish might be acceptable, but I don't believe that a
thick grey primer layer is needed, nor recommeded. I still have a old
can of spray golfworks "sealer" that I've used on sandblasted
metalwoods. I'll try that on a cheap club prior to the automotive
color coat.

I played with a guy last summer who had a wild paint job on his
Cleveland 460 driver. I asked about the paint job and he said that he
painted cars for a living. So, talk to an auto painter and see what they
have to say.

I've found instructions on line previously by searching a variety of
combinations of relted words. You might want to serch also touch up
paint, and automotive refinishing. I was planning to try this too,
using the Dupli-Colour kind of thing from the auto repair place.

You'll need various grades of sandpaper (metal working kind) primer,
base coat and clear, plus masking tape. Primer is useful for filling the
minute scratches from the sanding exercise.
