Final Product...Now does anyone have a Mills headcover they are willing to part with?

I am still looking for a larger bottle of blue, I only had a small bottle and could not submerge the wedges even though I got pretty good results with the sponge.

No more blueing its crap and dont last and doesnt look good. no matter how good of a job you do.

How did you take off chrome?
Did you do it yourself?

When the gun blue is applied, does it cover the paintfill and require a re-do on all the paintfill?
BTW, what gun blue was used from CT?

Nope, the blueing will not cover the paintfill.

Outers blueing kit from CT.

Use silicone spray afterwards...i didn't and it started to rust again while sitting in my basement.

[mathc38]

thanks for the reply...what silicone spray is best? will baby oil do? and how often should I apply the silicone?

[bobblehead]

I think i got the 3 and 1 Silicone spay at CT. I heard that baby oil will work for rust prevention but its sticky so it may collect dirt on the head when in use.

Duration of application will depend on usage of the club...

I know this forum is old but I will take a shot.... Has anyone used these products to touch up the black irons that are out these days (specifically Adams CB2 Irons) After a season of use (and occasional practice from mats) some of the black finish is missing. I was wondering if I could just clean and Qtip some solution on the "bare" spots. and if anyone has tried this one.. did it work? two... How did the colors match up? Thanks for any help.

Your best bet is to probably email Adams (or is it TaylorMade now??) and ask them what type of finish is actually on the clubs and if they have any methods to restore the look.

[Blakeping]

Yeah, Unfortunately I have called and i got the pad answer that all black clubs will lose its color over time. No they don't refinish or recommend a way to do it other then send you to a professional company that does refinishing.

They did state it was a Zinc/Nickel finish!

Try looking at this site, my old PING putter is there now getting a complete makeover. I am sure he does irons as well.

YIKES!! at those prices per club... I could just buy a brand new set. Was really hoping to find a CHEAP diy solution. but thank you for the link, It is just my pockets are pretty empty right now, if you know what I mean.

[leftylucas]

Do not assume he will charge per club, send him an email, he is pretty good

[kilmidyke]

Pretty sure Adams irons are a black PVD finish over a nickel plating. It wears because it is a thin film coating. Black Oxide treatments dont work on these heads due to the nickel plating. It's really no diffrent than the black finish on the soles of some drivers like the TM R9's and Ping i15 etc.

Nothing you can do about it unless you are prepared top pay for a refinish job.

...and yeah, Kevin Colbert does nice work and seems to be an all round good guy too.
