I purchased this Scotty about 5 years ago in this forum, it was pretty banged up when I bought it but the price was good. I didn't feel like spending $300 to send it back to the "Shop" so I decided to try this on my own.
I'm actually quite proud of the final result! :-)

Not bad and it only cost my $15 and about 4 hours of labor :-)
that putter looks familiar!
AWESOME work!
Looks great! Best way to go if you are planning on keeping it.
Beautiful! Great work!
By the way, I did a similar thing to my Mil Spec putter. I used Simichrome polish to restore the shine, but it took the paintfill off. I bought Testors model paint at the local hobby shop and re-did the paint fill to the original color scheme. I was very pleased with the results. Simichrome polish works very well on golf clubs; just be aware that it will remove paintfill.
Were there any nicks and how do you remove them?
Great job! Now you have to tell us how you went about this...
I've done a bunch of these very similar.
They work best on raw carbon like the older scotty's or titleist raw wedges.
Here's my method:
Take the head off.
Soak in poly stripper for half hour or until the paint starts to droop.
Use a sharp needle to clear the paint grooves everywhere on the club.
I use a bench sander with a coarse wheel to gently sand the finish.
Then a hand held dremel to buff out any nicks you want gone.
Wash the club with alcohol to remove any grease and super dry it.
Soak with gun blue - longer for more black - usually 10-15 minutes.
Rub it with fine steel wool.
I then spray it with a protectant, I forget the name but it's for spraying food machines to prevent water getting into the metal.
I leave it to sit overnight.
Next day, towel dry, rub with fine steel again.
Spray gun oil, rub with fine steel again.
Time - for paint fill. Lots of ways to do this - I like nail polish.
