Well worth the price, but I'm really anal about my equipment - I have forged irons that look mint because they're in covers whenever I'm not swinging them and I wash them weekly. I can't have a sorta-beat-up driver in my bag, especially one that I didn't beat up myself. My old s are all mint. So, I dig the head, but it needs a cosmetic rejuvenation. I think some of you guys on here do some neat stuff. I wouldn't be against sending the club off for some love. Doesn't need to be complex, but I wouldn't hate going to something in Mizuno-blue or other options.
Chuck brownmoose13 used to do the powder coating and his work is great. I said used to because he moght be retired, but if you ask nicely he might powder coat it when he is back from the Citric State. Steve sdandrea1 might still do the refinishing, I believe he had graduated from the experimenting stage. Actually, it's not that difficult to do this yourself. Of course powder coating needs more expertise and dedicated equipment my wife would never let me bake the driver head in our kitchen oven.
I believe the most difficult part is the taping and masking the border line if you're having multiple color applied. Continental Golf in Raleigh NC does nice work. I should be getting some clubs back from them next week.
You can just about specify any color or finish with them. As you can see from the last picture there I made a little holder out of an old broken shaft to use while painting. I just the head off a bolt, then taped half in a broken shaft and the other half in the club head. It worked out very well for not getting my hands covered in paint. These pictures are after the 3rd coat of blue. You can see the huge run on the sole of the club, this is where my problems started.
Up until this point I had a really nice smooth finish on all the paint. After a few times trying to sand out runs and buff with acetone to smooth it out I pretty much just made it worse. I wouldn't be embarrassed to play the club, but it's not up to par with how I would like it.
I still need to do the paint fill. I'm not going to do everything, just some highlights in white. So here is the finished head without the paint fill. At least until I strip it again and start over. Is that just automotive spray paint? It will sky like a hot knife through butter if you hit it on the crown, so don't do that. You can post now and register later.

I can't wait to see the outcome of this. You better send out for pizza Great Project Use a stiff plastic brush to completely clean the scratched areas.
Dry the club head with a clean towel. The Golf Tips website suggests using automobile touch-up paint or nail polish. After the paint dries, add a second coat if any scratches are deep. Wipe the area with a towel to remove the residue. Clean the sole the bottom of the club head with a rag dipped in soapy water. Use a brush to remove any remaining dirt from the scratched areas.
