Often it is hard to find automotive touch-up to match the golf club color. You could try the site listed below or sometimes they have stuff on ebay. To completely remove the sky mark club refinishing it the best idea.
Okay, I need help. I put a major skymark on my Taylor Made 5 wood yesterday. I usually don't even hit off a tee with my 5, and if I do it is pretty low. Since I have been trying to learn how to hit my driver lately, just out of habit I teed my ball up like I would be if I was hitting driver. When I made contact the ball went straight up.
I think I have seen it on the site before, but how would you repair a major skymark?
Well Keith it depends on how major the skymark is as to making a repair yourself. This may help to take out most of the mark. Go to Wal-Mart or to a auto parts store and get a bottle of Scratch-Out that will take most of the mark out. Also you might ask at the auto parts store if the have the compounds for wet sanding clear coat finishes, if you follow the directions it also will take out most of the skymark. The compounds are a little more spendey than the scratch-out and a bit more time consuming but may work better in the long run they consist of about three to four polishing compounds form about a 400 grit polish to 2500 grit. Hope this helps.
One other thing that you can do and this sounds like one of those marks you can’t do much more harm. If there is an automotive paint store in your area or if you know someone in the auto body work. Is to purchase a small amount of touch up paint and repaint the mark and spray with a clear coat sealer. It is not as hard as it sounds just requires a lot of patience and time. So here is the procedure, 1. Clean up the area around the mark using a piece of wet sand paper with a grit of 500 (this will help to smooth out the surface and prepare if for the paint. 2. using a small high quality artist brush, apply paint to the damaged area. 3. allow paint to dry, take a single edge razor blade and take a piece of 500 grit wet dry sand paper and create a bur on side of the blade. Now bend the blade using your thumb to a slight curve (curve to fit curve of the club head) and cut or scrape away the excess paint. 5. Using wet dry sand paper sand lightly the repaired area then using the sanding compounds smooth out and blend the repaired area. Apply a clear coat sealer and wet sand and buff. Note when using the wet sand paper use a spray bottle with liquid soap and water to help keep the paper and the area you are working on clean.
I know this is quite a long process that’s why it takes some time and patience, or you could send the club back to the manufacture. Or maybe find a good club builder in your area that can do the same process as describe above.
Whichever way you go good luck and hope this has not confused you with to much or to little information..
