DIY - How To Repair Golf Driver Club Head Paint! 

Dude !! 7 Years later this is still the definitive DIY club paint repair video. Golf Paints Inc shipped me an exact match to my 2023 Callaway Paradym 5 wood that had several scratches after the last season, and it literally looks brand new when applying this method. I can say this: Do not rush the repair...do it over a couple of days and it will come out looking perfect. Thanks man!!

hey man, just randomly happened upon your channel. Even without the paint color being an exact match it still looks way, way better. Nicely done.

imagine doing all that work, taking it out of your bag and skying another one. XD

Always have great results for sky marks by using automotive rubbing compound. Simple, but effective.

Dude, you saved my new set of clubs. My wife used them on a bachelorette party and didn't strap the bag in all the way on the cart and sent them flying. Thanks so much, liked and subscribed

Not a driver, but recently refinished an odyssey dual stroke putter from the 90s. Was a fun project as it was pretty rusty. Was my dads old club, he was happy to see it restored to its former glory 😂

Thanks for the video. I acquired same paint from the supplier Golf Paint Inc in Kansas. Tom was a great help.

Tried this fix, really worked good. My club looked like yours, color matched perfect. Thanks for the post.

Also I suggest to try and supply Golf Paint Inc as much as possible model AND year of manufacture.

JMU alum here! Thanks for the content brother Go Dukes!!

Just finished refinishing my RBZ Stage2 driver, which was in much, much worse condition than the one shown in the video. And unless you hold it in the bright sunlight, and at the perfect angle, you'll be hard pressed to tell that it had been painted.And to make sure I did it correctly, I watched the video six times before I got into it. Follow his directions to a T and you'll be more than amazed with the results.

Great video man. I got some chips on my Titleist 917 and did the same thing. Put some touch up paint, taped it off, wet sanded and used my Rupes mini polisher to make it shine again. Amazing what an hour of work can do.

Excellent work here learned a lot - just finished tiny microscopic touch up on mark on Taylormade M2 3 Wood on area where it shows the loft Model (M2/15*- and also tiny sky mark on Taylormade Burner 5 Wood. Used modeler's paint and masking tape cleaned with similar polish etc ! Great take away - about specific Golf club paints available !! - didn't know that ! Thanks!

Brilliant video. I massively sky marked my m2 yesterday it looks awful. Going to get this ordered up and give it a go.

I've got a whole bag of clubs that need touch up. I'll bring them over later... Thanks! Great vid btw. Very informative!

I just got used 2016 m1 in the mail today and it had a small chip on the top front of the crown. Just ended up using white nail polish, doesn't totally match but unless you're really looking it's easy to miss

I just bought a couple of Taylormade 3 and 5 woods for about a 1/4 of the usual price as they were pretty scuffed up. I used fine pinstripe masking tape to mask off lettering and used Model enamal thinned and sprayed with an airbrush. Even if the colour is off, you can blend it so you don't notice and you can spray thin enough that there's no ridge when the tape masking the names and lettering is removed

I duracoated the cavity of a ping iron matte black after having given it a mirror finish. Pretty sick. New super stoke grips black/white to update as well.

hi this is at the start of your video but, I did this in my past and used Sharpe markers to fill in the scrapes . one tip from my experience is when you put your clubs in your bag put some cellotape around where shaft touches its resting point , this stops it wearing part of shaft thin . I did here a chap did not do this and one day he swung his driver it hit the ball but club snapped at that point. paul

Cool video. I will give it a try. I have a Mizuno with a lot of scratches on it, but love the club and ten feet away it doesn't look too bad. Up close it looks terrible. Hope to be able to improve the looks with some TLC during this offseason. Thanks again for the motivation! I needed to see your video.

Just purchased a new Callaway Epic Driver. Had it for 3 days and didn't get the clubs strapped in the cart all the way. Clubs went tumbling out on the cart path and left a "divot" on the toe end of the driver. I did a quick fix with black enamel paint. Fortunately you can't see the mark on the top of the club (it is more on the end of the toe). I only wish I had sanded more, prior to painting, to get all the clear coat off. I'm sure your job looks 10x better! If this doesn't hold I'll order the paint and follow your instructions. I was just afraid to sand too much at the beginning-afraid I'd make a bad looking club look much worse! Great video.

Perfect, thank you for the instructions

Great repair! Very nicely done. Your final result was very impressive. Spider Dubiel

Great Video, would never have of thought to use brush paint.....

Thank you for doing this. My new to me Titleist 917F2 is going to need some TLC.

Great vid! I'll be painting my old Ping G15 soon

Great job on the club and on the video. I'm looking forward to watching your handicap go down as your skill level goes up!

i misjudged you, your commentary is way better on your newer stuff. gj brother

You can also use a magic eraser to get out those stained looking marks.

Just discovered you on my recommended great video man !

Also worth a try is Rust-Oleum Specialty Appliance Touch-Up

Damn great job This has been a tremendous help Thanks

Looks pretty good!

A great result, will give it a try, thanks

Nice,but what I use is car wax to make it shine,also protects the finish I did my m2 driver and fairway

Thanks for sharing. (every video I watch has the same soundtrack?)

Is that a JMU diploma in the background? Go Dukes!!!

Nice work. What about small marks on the face?

Shoot, it looks great, excellent tutorial as well. about to do this to two of my favorite drivers, I don't want to get rid of it hits well.

Did you sand it after each coat of paint? If so, how did you progress through the different grits? Great video!

Hey man. Came across this video and looks like it worked well for you. I have been doing several thin layers, hitting with the heat, then sanding. It feels like every time I sand more paint comes off than should. I just used the clarifying compound and it took almost all the paint off. Back to square 1. Any tips? What am I doing wrong?

Great work! You ever try doing a Titleist driver?

After I apply the paint, how long do I wait for it to dru before I sand when I’m all done? And what grit sandpaper should I use? Thanks man.

You should wear gloves the grease from your fingers is what you clean off all the alcohol

The club is not damaged. Learn to see beauty in perceived imperfections.

I bought a £349 Cobra F9 this morning, took it to the rand and chipped the paint wehn i skyed it, maybe 3rd swing

Hello Man, I have some of the sky-marks on my M2 too. Just a quick question, did you apply a lot of pressure when you sand it down on each step between painting? Well done! I am excited to see how mine turns out :)

Maybe I missed it... can you provide the link for the touch up paint and scratch repair kit?

Hi, I have a old taylormade white smoke putter, do you think the same whit would suit it?? Thanks

Have you tried,air brushing?

I had the same problem; there is NO PAINT known to man that will repair sky marks, I've tried them all - and on a TM driver too. Best solution I found? Buy a Titleist driver - they don't mark.

love this video! I plan on repairing my m2 as well. One question on the paint. I am only repairing a small chip out of the paint on a very random spot on the club head. Sort of top of the club near the toe end. does the paint give of no gloss at all? if i don't buy the polish and sand paper will i see a massive color difference? Thanks!

Would this work on taylormade sim? Unsure whether it’s the same colour white as on the m2

Can someone tell me if the colour at the top of the driver head on a sim2 max is white or grey? I looked online and it says light grey in places but I don’t know what to believe

The biggest mistake you can make is not allowing the paint to dry . Yes the hair dryer will help but the key is time. At least a couple days before applying tape to paint a second color or more. Don’t waste all that hard work and end up with thumb prints in your paint….✌🏼✌🏼

Can take that sky mark off with a bit of tcut wax just dont do it over the taylormade sign

Everytime i spray and start sanding, other areas of paint are being rubbed off. speficially on the curve from the top to the face. Any suggestions?

Don't bother taping the face or sanding the face between coats, use T-cut or similar once you have painted the chipped area and that will create a smooth finish on its own because its a cutting compound, it also easily removes the paint from the face. So no tape and no sanding = alot of time saved

Just looks like its just come from the factory

Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other

I dont see the link to buy that paint. Please lsend me the links. Thanks

May I know what shaft you have on your M2?

i like the video, but i would think wearing gloves after wiping down with alcohol would mitigate getting dirt and oils from your hands.

Do you have any idea how to remove scratches off the carbon fibre part of the crown ?

Would this work on a Cobra F7+. Since it has the matte finish and all?

I missed the link as well. Can someone help with this

Did you progress in grades of sand paper as you went along?

Where is the to buy the stuffs?

Wheight!!!

Looks good but you made it much harder than it needed to be. Instead of using touch up paint just use enamel or even better, epoxy rattle can paint and repaint the entire head. Sand with 400 or red scotch brite. Mask off what you don’t want painted, make sure it’s sanded well and and clean before paint. After the paint is applied bake it in the oven on 350 for 5-10 mins so it bakes on. I usually paint 3 coats and bake for 5 mins after each coat and 10 mins after the final coat.

Honesty a great video , your into is just waaay to long mate

vinyl wrap works better and it's too easy

aweful, your video is too fast and what material used , ? not seen

just thought id mention that driver looks fake

Couldn't watch this. Who ever decided that you need to wave your hands around when talking?

And now the balls fly better and straighter? i think not!! Maybe you should put the Tee deeper in the ground then there is less chipping of the paint. ;-)

Touch up paint sucks......sand the entire head and spray it.

spend time & money taking lessons instead
