Metal wood head refinish

[reg]

I did a search and there hasn't been a post about it for a while so would like to hear an update.

I have a Ping Rapture V2 with a gash on the crown. Does anyone know someone in Australia who does refinishing of metal woods?

Or has anyone sent their driver to the USA? Seen plenty of posts on Golfwrx, would like to hear from an Aussie if there were dramas with postage or the results.

Thanks

Depends on how bad, but u can buy the refinishing paint on eBay. I'd start with that.

Probably cheaper to buy another V2 than get it done professionally. Do you know any friendly panel beater/spray painters that might do it for a slab?

Thanks for the replies,

I have touched it up, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to my clubs. I like them to be new/abuse free for as long as possible. When about to hit a drive I'd like to be thinking about the shot, not "god I hate that gash and the dodgy touch up job I did"

Really love the V2 head, hate the green. Was thinking of getting it done properly and give it a make over. I've read the posts about DIY, I'd give it a go but as most people I don't have a sandblaster to remove the original paint.

Thanks Daves, have you bought that paint before?

I did a driver crown with plain old black spray paint. I masked up all the areas not to be sprayed, keyed up the surface and away I went. Used an enamel for metal. Did lots of thin coats sanding with very fine paper inbetween. Came up very well and I am a little OCD in general.

Corey Templeton on the Gold Coast does, he has a sand blasting machine in his WorkShop.

Kari Lajosi will also do the finishing in Ion plating instead of paint for a fairly small fee, about $50-60 he quoted me.
