I have "aquired" two 1cm long, thin, chips on the top of my r7 Quad's Clubhead. These chips are on the black paint, and was wondering if there is anyway of touching them up? Also, is there any chance these chips, as they are a little deep, could rust through time?

Thanks.

Come on folks?

32 people have viewed this thread, and not one can take the time of day to give me an idea on how to repair/patch up these marks?

What kind of paint would be permanent, glossy, etc?

Check out this thread and maybe it will help.....big ugly sky mark on my driver

Send it to Golfsmith or Golfworks and they can refinish the club.

Since the club is a TaylorMade I would recommend sending it to them if you want it repaired perfectly. That's not to say the other places won't do good work but the OEM is most always better.

trade it off. it's damaged goods.

Was thinking of picking this up tomorrow. Would this be ok to use on the top of a Driver's clubhead, with it being a shiney black finish? It says it's for all paint colours, and works on cars, etc.

This method may work but you're always going to notice the mark unless you have it professionally refinished.

Use a permanent marker to ink in some pigment, and swing freely with your DIY repair. That's what I have always done.

One way to think of a golf club is as a toy that we use to play a game.

In fact it may be lighter and more aerodynamic without the original paint!

Sorry to hear this. Do I remember correctly that you just bought this a short while ago? If you have only used it a few times and it has dinged under typical usage circumstances, I would just touch it up as best as you can, it is probably going to get dinged again, no sense refinishing it if you plan on using it.

You wrote about chips in the paint. If you can see metal, then scratch remover won't do much, but ever so carefully applied automotive touch up paint will make them hard to see.

It got damaged on the first day I used it, not happy!

Basically, I'd left my bag standing on the slope on a hill, and didn't for a second think it would topple. My r7 was sitting without it's head cover, and the bag fell over, went crashing to the ground, and the irons hit the driver head. Now, I've got these two 1cm long, but thin in width, scratches, which you can feel when you rub your finger over them.

I ended up buying a Matt Black model kit paint from the Games Workshop in Glasgow, along with a very fine brush. I touched up the marks, and while it's not a perfect match, and the marks can still be seen, they're not silver anymore!

Considering going to the range/shop tonight to pick up a TaylorMade rescue iron .... only thing I need to figure out is which one I need. Hmmmm!

Model paint is designed for indoor display, so if it fades, look into auto touch up paint. The reason auto touch up paint is good is that it is designed to hold up under constant exposure to the sun, weather and high speed motoring, it also comes in several shades of every color, even black, so it is so it is ideal for golf clubs.

The Sharpie(tm) ink I used on my R5 hasn't faded after 2 months.

I wasn't unlucky enough to damage the club by dropping it, I just skyed a tee shot trying to kill it and a grain of sand on the ball managed to carve away some of the finish, which is otherwise usually more than a match for a skyed tee shot with a clean golf ball.

I look at it as a blessing because the mark is a permanent reminder not to swing like a maniac (not a foolproof remider though); and it has helped divorce me from the habit of treating the club as if it's on loan from a museum.

I had a paint gash in a fairway wood and tried the regular Sharpie and heavy duty Sharpie for 'industrial' use and found that both faded. When I first applied it, it looked great. Fairways get a lot more contact with first cut/rough length grass which may have worn off the ink. For a driver, the Sharpie may work just fine.
