Has anyone ever touched up the paint on their clubs, specifically a putter?

My Taylormade Spyder has some chips in the paint, doesn’t impact performance but I want to touch it up for the look of it. I looked online and there are 1000 options, anyone have any experience with this or recommendations for paint?

Thanks

Taylor Made has excellent customer service. If you are the original owner, drop an email to their service department. They will probably send you an exact match for free.

They’ll ship me a brand new $300 club for free? And let me keep the one I have because some of the paint is chipped off? I find this hard to believe

Curious if anyone knows what type of paint is on golf clubs? Is it enamel metal paint? My club is black I kind of just want to go buy a black paint pin and do it myself, not need to bother with waiting on Taylormade

I've painted blades with hobby paint. It worked fine

My black Spyder has also chipped despite me always using the cover. Wonder if it’s common

Interesting, it’s bugging the crap out of me because it looks cheap but it’s a nice freaking club

The Spyder line is notorious for paint chipping issues, especially on the older models.

I believe the introduction of the Hydroblast finish was supposed to help with it

Not sure if you are in Baton Rouge, but the owner at Schneider's Golf Mechanics off of Bluebonnet does all kinds of refinishing and re-painting on putters and clubs. I've seen some of his custom work and have been impressed. I've never priced anything like that with him, but all of his other services I've gotten from him have been reasonably priced. Worth looking in to.

I had Schneider's Golf Mechanic replace the shaft(last shop did a bad job) and refurbish my Scotty putter and was very satisfied with the work he did.

My daughter uses a spyder and it's only a year old. It has several chips in the paint... Thinking of having it Cerakoted that way she wont have that issue..

I heard that from someone a while back when I was looking at putters. Ever since then I've noticed that every time I look through the used putters at any shops, the spyders always look like they have been neglected. I've heard numerous people claim that they baby their putter and always have the head cover on etc. but they still get the paint chipping. It's hard to believe for a premium priced club.

Yeah unfortunately it's true. I've owned putters from $35, up to $2K. It's the one club in my bag that I will baby, and the same thing happened to me with a couple Spyders. It's a paint failure.

In this day and age of the arms race for new releases of clubs, there's a lack of QC. TaylorMade seems to have it's share. Now days I tend to buy from smaller brands that specifically focus on just putters, or putters/wedges

My Scotty Cameron has needed was in great need of a paint job and Scotty wanted over $200 plus like 8 weeks to get the job done so IO took a chance on this paint from Amazon. Not exactly touch up paint but in case anyone comes across this thread searching for "paint" I can give this product a good recommendation.

I need to redo the white on the back because it's pretty bubbly but this works great for the numbers on your irons, small print, etc and I think I'm going to play around with it a good bit.
