Can anyone suggest some places in Aus that do full resto work for irons?

There is a place in the states called tiger nicks, they strip chrome, sand all imperfections, regroove, replate/ finish, then paint fill, and build to spec.

Any is aus?

I imagine this will be expensive if so.

Thinking of buying a set of original DCIs and getting someone to make them brand new.

Pretty sure Wanlefty only does the black satin finish. He does a great job if that's what you're after but chrome re-finishing is much harder to source. No one in Oz does a good job as far as I know. Even in the US it's harder to find these days.

Wanlefty can do chrome as well as a few other plate options. He has been expanding what he can do as of late.
I had a set of Miuras redone by Kari Lajosi here in Melbourne and i couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I decided to go Copper instead of chrome finish. Contact either of them and you wont be disappointed.

Hey guys - yep I can do refinishing.

Have access to most chrome finishes and also some raw - like black oxide etc.

Shoot me a PM with what you're after and I'll see if I can help.

They’re raw underneath, I’ll take some in the morning though.

Sorry the light isn’t too crash hot. The finish last a while but only came off on the sole and the face. These have been sitting in the spares bag for a while so the raw is really browning up nicely. This is my PW.

That's awesome WL. I've got my eye on a set that may need refinishing so I'll be in touch if I grab them.

They look familiar ;) hope they've been treating you well. I miss my set of 68's, one of the few that Mizuno actually made the right way around for me!
