    I do all my own paintfill that part is super easy, however I'm deathly afraid of stamping my wedges lol I really don't want to mess them up. Testors Enamel model paint is the best I've found. It's always carried in stock at Michael's craft stores and it holds up so freaking well. Here's a few pictures of mine I did. 

    That was my SM4s

    Here are my SM5s

    Nail polish remover seems to work for me.

    I use acitone on a paper towel and rub gently on the excess paint. it comes off perfect and leaves the paintfill intact. after I remove the excess paint I clear it with nail polish clear.

    Acetone to remove excess paint works great.  And stamping is easy but it takes practice to develop confidence.

    I found two successful ways to do it. 

    First is you can use a tooth pick and just dip the end of the tooth pick in the paint and kind of "dab" it into the areas you want to paint fill. This way is the way to go if you don't want to have to worry about excess paint.

    The second which is the way I do it, is to just use a brush and completely cover the area you want to paint fill. Let the paint dry for a bit and then like others have said dab a little acetone although I use mineral spirits onto a paper towel and wipe clean. The excess comes over very easily but the it stays into the areas you wanted to paint fill. One thing I've noticed to make it easier is to fold the paper towel a few times to make it like a tight straight edge almost and just wipe across the surface of the wedge. This method has worked the best for me. I hope this helps!

    It's easy, just make sure you use a big enough hammer and don't be afraid to hit hard.  Also try to make sure that you can do it in one blow for good results.  If you can grab some scrap steel to practice on first.  I find Sharpie Oil based paint pens work well (cheap also) and will last a season before you need to touch up, if not enamel model paint and a syringe works also.

    Great looking wedges!  It looks like you really have the paint fill down well.  I have done the stamping on a couple of clubs after watching them do it for me in the Titleist Tour van a few years ago.  You need the right set of stamps and find some old wedges with worn grooves to practice on so you don;t ruin any of your good wedges.  If not, you can always send them to Wedgeworks to be stamped.

    Thanks Mike! It took a few tries to find a method I was comfortable and confident with, but once you do it a few times it's easy peasy! 

    One thing I wanted to add to the OP that I forgot is I don't know how anyone else does, but I don't remove the stock paint. I just paint fill right over it and I've never had an issue doing it that way.

    I like those green accented wedges!  I might have to do that this winter.  I've been wanting to stamp and paint fill my wedges for a year or so, but I just haven't found the nerve to do it.  I'm afraid I'll screw up my wedge.  I'm debating whether I should upgrade my wedges this winter.  If I do, I'll just practice on the older ones.

    Lots of threads on other boards about this (and a few YouTube videos will help as well).

    I send all of mine to a fellow Titleist ambassador who stamps and paints in his home workshop.  Does stellar work, too.
