Mate, that looks so so so much better. Fabulous job so far. I'm so interested to see how the paint detail goes. I'm sorry I don't have a solution for the rust proofing. But you are inches away from turning a vintage golf original legendary putter, in to an absolute classic!!! How you can find a solution for that, and for me, the phrase "They don't make em like that anymore" rings absolutely true, and if I were you, A STONE COLD KEEPER!!! Good luck with the rest of the project!!!
Scotch bright drill pads, buffing wheel, autosol polish. Finish with rust resistant metal gun wax. Not tried this combo but it will work. Boom, new club.
Ok... Simon!!! Get some nickel plating solution (Amazon) about £25... Nickel anode (Amazon) £ 8... 12v DC adapter (old phone charger or something like that). Sand and buff the putter until shining like a mirror. Place putter head in solution. Attach neg 12v to putter head. Attach pos 12v to nickel anode. Place anode in solution with putter head. Do not let them touch each other. It will take less than 5 min and you will have a great plated putter that will not rust! Addition... You will need to sand to 600 wet/dry finish. Also make sure you clean with acetone and then window cleaner before putting into nickel solution
Clear coat the putter. It will keep it shiny and rust free. You can also wet sand the clear coat lightly to polis it. That’s what they do with cars when painting them 🙌🏽 great Content! I appreciate the videos
After the putter is polished and letters painted, instead of clear coat, I first use Turtle Wax Ice Seal & Shine then Top Coat with Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic spray Wax . I tied clear coat with proper prep...just feel a Turtle Wax can be used on shafts, hossles, and club heads...been using this to restore and preserve 4 sets of clubs this year. Sheds water, debris is a lot less on club face and bottoms, clubs clean w a little water.
When sanding the face,I'd get a pane of glass and spray adhesive for the sandpaper will keep it super flat. As for the finishing the gun blueing is the easiest imo
looking good, pretty sure there will be some sort of clear lacquer for metal to prevent rust. i wouldnt be too fussed about a few imperfections, adds a bit of character, it is an old putter after all.
An old school Ping putter could be a nice next project, not too expensive and quite satisfying to see a good change on, since they usually are rather beaten up. By the way, I’ve been stalling my own project with building my Vega iron I bought from you last winter and look forward to share the result after the season here in Finland soon is over and I finally get to it building my first own club from parts. Thank you for your videos and enjoy the autumn over there. Best regards!
Just got a belly taylormade rossa monza spider putter that I'm gonna try and replicate this with. Got it for 15 bucks beat up like this scotty. Thanks for the inspiration dude 👍
Either clear coat it, or just oil it regularly to protect from rust. Another good putter to practice restoration on is the old tp mills blades, way cheaper than a scotty but still quality carbon steel that is easy to work with and torches very well
I’d love to find a battered Scott and do this myself! Be like a personal touch to your putter and makes it different to other people’s if you’ve ‘restored’ it yourself! Plus lowers the price which is always a plus!
If you want to get into restoration doing up clubs. copper or nickel plating bath is quite easy can do it at home. Plenty of videos of what you need and could use it on alot of other clubs.
Not sure if it will help, but I have a highly polished set of alloy wheels on my car, before they went on I coated them in a ceramic armour wheel coating and it's done amazing, might be worth a try
you can do a oil can finish. buy a blow torch and heat the putter up. then drench it in motor oil. It gives the putter a cool look and prevents rusting OR you can give the putter a mirror finish and let it petina :)
use a very fine steel wool pad to polish it up and get out all the little sand paper marks. and a cheap way to coat it would be to do an oil can finish or gun metal coating. and remove the old paint with acetone and a knife. paint fill with nail polish, and wipe off with acetone on a paper towel. Ive done that on wedges and a putter by hand and they came out pretty good
I started life as s toolmaker. If you could get your hands on some grinding stones, you would save yourself a lot of work, and end up with mirror finished....good job though
I have seen numerous replies on projection and finishes including powder coating. I wouldn't powder coat this putter and wd40 isn't permanent. Depending on shadings and if you want it to look factory correct will depend on your finish choice.
@@lockdownmademedoit1645 Depends how quick your drill does round i suppose, a polishing wheel is a polishing wheel, no difference. The only difference i could see is with a big wheel is spreads the cut and heat over a big area whereas a small attachment on a drill may cut unevenly leaving it wavy.
I had a go with a small drill attachments and it wasn't great tbh, so I will do a bit more homework before the next one and use the big attachment instead 🙌💪
@@lockdownmademedoit1645 Just watched your video, you only used one compound, this is why it didn't do anything. 3 compounds and three different types of wheel is what ypu need, thats why you didn't like the results.
@@stevelegge3307 cheers mate.. im always happy to learn..I will possibly try the other compound next time and have a look into what I have /need to get better results
Not sure if you have already done a video or not but can you do 1 advising a new starter on a new set of clubs (not to expensive) would rather get new than 2nd hand
If you give that putter a high polish, it acts like a natural rust repellent. Sand it up to 2000 grit or whatever is available and give it a good buff with some polish.
Multi speed rotary tool!!! Aka a DREMEL. Get all the correct sanding grits. Use the rotary tool to save A LOT of time. Just make sure to GO SLOW until you really get the feel for the tool and the material you are refinishing
The material used on the Pro plat range (1998-2000) is carbon steel, meaning it will rust and oxidise in the open air.... the original nickel plating (that you removed) protected the putter.... if you now leave this in the open air, you’ll quickly see a rusty patina.... do it
There's a number of water repellent sprays on the market now. Not sure how long it lasts but if it's spray then you can keep it topped up. Some really cool videos on TH-cam showing just what they do
Bilt Hamber's Atom-Mac is a corrosion inhibitor that is applied using water. It protects any surface or area where corrosion may occur. Atom-Mac forms an invisible atomic shield against corrosion of ferrous metal. Protect water collecting voids, braking surfaces, suspension components as well as bicycles, garden equipment and machinery. Atom-Mac can be added to rinse water to prevent flash corrosion of grit blasted surfaces, which makes this an ideal product to have for winter driving.
I can’t believe what those cost new. It’s like paying $400 for a driver from 1990. If you play well with it, more power to you, but you’d play well with any modern club at a fraction of the price.
Mate, From this point you get with this putter you will need bench emery and scotch Brite mop and the good looking finish is achieved with wax and an emery white mop. you have to be careful with the abrasiveness of the scotch brite, think the hardest is the black the red is the medium and the softest is green.
A plating company would do minus the shaft, if you could perhaps strike a deal with a bit of free advertising for them they might waive the minimum charge which could be horrendous 🤔
Simon try using a finer grade of sandpaper 600-1000 grit, it’s used in the motor trade for painting body work. Perhaps you can use a clear varnish/ lacquer. Try Halfords.
I would take it to an electroplating company i think there is one or 2 around Camberley area give them a ring see what they say.You can do it at home with kits but with a young child around i wouldn't risk it with chemicals and fumes and whatnot.
Not 100% sure how to stop it rusting of you've removed the playing, however you can get a clear ceramic coating for car paint which protects it not 100% sure if that would seal it and stop it rusting but may be worth a look

Il have a look into that pal! 👌
Coat it with Gtechniq C5, it's a ceramic coating used in car detailing and it'll last forever on a putter.
@Jared Dawson Shut your mouth

do this
You could try the oil can finish or oil quench finish on it. That finish would look nice on this putter. Great job on it.
I feel ur pain bro. I have spent HOURS sanding by hand. Such a good feeling to see it smooth again.
I'd go for the blue flame finish you've mentioned in a previous video. make it a custom SAS scotty
I like that 🔥
Great job on the putter! Question: Have you settled the question about how best to finish the putter?
Thanks for watching guys! Help and advice is always welcome down below 🙌
You are the man!
Too kind pal! 💪
Just leave it and then whack it on eBay in a few months for £1000 as a limited edition 'Rusty Cameron'.

Get some spray paint clear coat once it’s been completely polished and paint infilled.
Would love to see you refurbish a second world War Spitfire next 👌
That would be a sick build on a putter

Amazing results for doing that by hand!

Would that work on wedges too?
@@lockdownmademedoit1645 potentially although I would say you have to increase the the power to get a better coating as the impacts would be greater.
Inspired me to work on my California Coronado but yes it’s definitely a grind!
Awesome! Always wanted to try this but was too scared. Love that you did it and how it turned out. Excited to see how you finish it!
You don't have to start with a Scotty - get a cheap one and experiment!
Always enjoy the videos
Not sure if it will help, but I have a highly polished set of alloy wheels on my car, before they went on I coated them in a ceramic armour wheel coating and it's done amazing, might be worth a try
Love these videos. Would love to see all club restoration, especially wedges an sky marks on woods.
I just had a go at a wedge.. definitely not as easy as it looks! 😅
Lockdown Made Me Do It ! I just watched your video, You did a good job.
@@chrisnemesis9327 cheers mate 🙌... It's a learning process and I have a couple more to do, so hopefully everything get better 🤞
Could you do a video on fixing sky marks on a driver.
I might have a go with an old 3 wood.. or does it have to be a good club 😅
Hi Simon on the short-term you might want to try a clear furniture wax beeswax would you do
You could try electroless nickle plating to recoat and provide corrosion protection.
Chemicals and kit a available on Ebay.
you can do a oil can finish. buy a blow torch and heat the putter up. then drench it in motor oil. It gives the putter a cool look and prevents rusting OR you can give the putter a mirror finish and let it petina :)
Put some rock music on them timelapse’s and you look like you’re having a great time
Haha majority of the time I was loving life. 🎸

I’d love a video on re-blacking/re-conditioning (Callaway) slate/grey wedges
💯... I just butchered an old raw wedge 😅
Simon you could actually need Emery cloth to rub metal work down good luck 👍
Armorseal Rexthane from Sherwin Williams would make a good clear coat for the putter. Will prevent rust as well.
I want to see you add a torched blue finish to a wedge or even a putter . Just spotted a guy on ebay who does them and they look absolutely unreal
Nice job Simon. Plate it usung an old nickel coin and Nickel cloride as the solution. Ovdrnight job with a 9v battery.
I have seen numerous replies on projection and finishes including powder coating. I wouldn't powder coat this putter and wd40 isn't permanent. Depending on shadings and if you want it to look factory correct will depend on your finish choice.
Heat the putter, then apply Eezox Synthetic Gun Care with a Q-Tip. Should prevent rust for up to a year.
Oil can finish would look epic on that!
I've always had good luck with Brasso polish and steel wool. Not sure if it would keep it from rusting though.
Try some autosol metal polish takes out the fine paper marks and leaves a mirror finish. Great for all clubs and even works on drivers with sky marks
Nice show ! Remember when your selling the putter its Hand Finished 👍👍
Have you thought about a motorised polishing wheel (bench grinder) and various compounds? The machine can take wheels for sanding as well
Ye you can get drill attachments.. I just don't know how good they are compared to the proper thing!
@@lockdownmademedoit1645 Depends how quick your drill does round i suppose, a polishing wheel is a polishing wheel, no difference. The only difference i could see is with a big wheel is spreads the cut and heat over a big area whereas a small attachment on a drill may cut unevenly leaving it wavy.

Use 1200 grit or finer wet sand paper and it will really start to shine, then clear coat paint should be fine
I start off refurb by soaking them in WD-40 and I finish the process with WD-40. No better rust remover and metal protectant.
Noted.. thank you!
You're pure, sanding a putter on your sofa.
A clear ceramic coating like you get for car paint might work. But not sure🤷♂️
Good job, nice finish , buy a mouse sander, then a polishing wheel with different compounds, clear coat automotive lacquer should seal it.
While you are out on the balcony Simon, that plant could use a good drink. 😊
Not sure if you have already done a video or not but can you do 1 advising a new starter on a new set of clubs (not to expensive) would rather get new than 2nd hand

defo try restore a bullseye putter, they look amazing
Lovely job!
After the putter is polished and the letters filled, clear coat it.
I guess you can put lead tape on the putter to make up for loss of material during sanding.
There's a number of water repellent sprays on the market now. Not sure how long it lasts but if it's spray then you can keep it topped up. Some really cool videos on TH-cam showing just what they do
It’s looking great 👍🏻

Who chose the colour of the carpet? Looks like your on a lawn.
Sky mark repair 👍
I use ACF50 on my motorcycle to protect metal parts best thing on the market by far
I can’t believe what those cost new. It’s like paying $400 for a driver from 1990. If you play well with it, more power to you, but you’d play well with any modern club at a fraction of the price.
From a quick google it looks like people use a clear spray paint
This was never a shiney finish putter. It looks fine in the matt. Quick spray of WD40 to stop the rust and back for sale on the bay
Don’t think I can sell this as it’s definitely not a Scotty anymore. 🙈
A man after my own heart!!
@@SASGolf As long as you're 100% honest in the description you should be OK - and it's not like you can't prove the work that has gone into it.
Oil can it or black oxide kit from Amazon.
Mate, From this point you get with this putter you will need bench emery and scotch Brite mop and the good looking finish is achieved with wax and an emery white mop. you have to be careful with the abrasiveness of the scotch brite, think the hardest is the black the red is the medium and the softest is green.
Any black wedge/black club would be good to see
There are home plating kits 🤷🏻♂️
I'd buy it👍👍
Look up McGolf Custom Clubs on TH-cam. He may have a solution to to the rust problem.
Take it to a metal platers
Chrome or nickel plate it
Won’t cost too much to get done
Less than buying primer and paint
Autosol metal polish, it gives a coat to stop it rusting....
Second that, autosol from halfords and some extra wine wire wool is amazing!
Putter Butter will help the rusting
Home wedge restoration would be interesting for a video
Yeah think wedge is going to be the next project!
I just tried it.. it was fun bit not easy.. not sure how long it will last either 😅🤦♂️
Aren’t Scotty’s stainless steel? No rust?
Copper plated? 🥰
Maybe some knife oil to keep the rust off. Not sure the metal on a Scotty
40k boy!!!!!!!!!
Gotta be oil can finish on that baby 🥺 how much you looking for bud?
Bet your missus loved you emery papering on the sofa 🤣
Keep the rust back with Hoppes #9 gun oil.
A plating company would do minus the shaft, if you could perhaps strike a deal with a bit of free advertising for them they might waive the minimum charge which could be horrendous 🤔
You could probably use WD-40 to protect against rust

Good video. Home Nickel Plating kit on eBay - 135 - and you will use it more.
I didn’t know it hey existed, might have a look at those. Thanks Jason.
Let it rust! Get some patina on it
You could have it anodised would only cost a couple of quid for a putter
Laqure it with a clear coat after going down to 2000 W&D
Wd40 once a week will keep the rust away
Looks like my missing putter...
Not 100% sure how to stop it rusting of you've removed the playing, however you can get a clear ceramic coating for car paint which protects it not 100% sure if that would seal it and stop it rusting but may be worth a look
Yeah think I’m gonna try and few, that sounds like the easiest solution however, which I like 😅
