Can you get a COA from Scotty if another business does the work?


You can but it won’t be an A

Yes, most refinishers will clean those up in a bead blasting cabinet while removing the old finish.

I'm good friends with a refinisher, and have gotten to see some cost perspective from his side. For instance, for most PVD finishes, it's about a $35 charge (plus one way shipping) to them to have a head done. My friend bead blasts them clean, ships to California for PVD, and then he does the paint-fill himself using Testors enamel or Tamiya paints. These are the more budget friendly refinishes.

His other work is a bit more expensive and indicative of the time spent on it. He's a wizard with a torch and MAP gas for torched/steel patina finishes

I've got a PLD DS72 coming back from Continental tomorrow. Got the head and shaft blacked out with lime green paintfill and extended an inch for $102 plus shipping both ways.



Post a picture, would love to see that.

This. I've used JRich. He's responsive, does good work, and ships things back to you in a timely fashion. I'd definitely use him again.

If the damage is bad enough, some will sand out the imperfections (but they won't be completely gone) and you'll lose a few grams of weight.

I need to send my Scotty to Lane Smoak. I had been in communicating to him and stopped. I think you suggested me to him. Need to get back on it.

Lane is a great guy. He just graduated from Georgia Southern and is now doing it full time.

He's made quite the name for himself in the Bettinardi groups. I know someone who owns one of Matt Fitzpatrick's protos and he's had Lane refinish it twice now
