I gave my old Scotty a face lift!
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!

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?

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.
