Putter Refinishing/Refurbishments

[Wenz]

I'm thinking about getting my SC Squareback No.2 refinished in a Black Finish.

I've heard Lajosi Putters do some really good work, I've sent him an email. Just waiting for a reply with a quote.
I was wondering if anyone else has done one recently and could give me some advice about what to ask for and what to look out for? How much did it cost? etc?

Also, don't really want to go with an interstate company, so does anyone know someone or a company that does refinishing that is located in SA.

I'm leaning towards getting something done like this.

im in the same boat Wenz, i just got a studio design with the intention to have it sent for a referb.
although it haven't spoken to Lajosi, it seems thats the way to go.
what are you specifically wanting to do to your putter?

Exactly like the pics I posted!

Black Oxide Finish
White & Silver Paintfill (might leave the cherry bombs untouched)
Satin Black Putter Shaft

No matter what black finish you put on, it will wear, especially going on to a stainless head.

When I was at Lajosi's in February, I showed him my Lajosi that has the black satin finish on it and it's a carbon putter. Kari gets the finishes done elsewhere, and with the black satin, they have to use a nickel plated primer for the black satin to stick to.

When the black satin wears off, you are left with the greyish colour of the nickel.

There is also another black finish you can try. It's a salt nitrate process that is done at very high temperature an impregnates the pores of the metal. I had a del mar done with this finish and it's dull but doesn't wear and it's black. Costs a fortune though.

gun blue finish
all black paint fill

Hot or cold Gun bluing will not work on stainless steel. Pretty sure you cannot black oxide stainless as well.

Check out some of the specific firearm paints that are designed for high wear. Cerakote comes to mind.

Gold's Factory go ok.
