Lab Touch-Up Paint?

Meanmachinemoe · June 25

Wondering if anyone has tried to use touch-up paint to fix the sharp edges of Lab putters that tend to show wear over time? If so, have you what did you use and what color matches best? My Lab is red but I'm sure there are others with different colors wondering the same thing.

Might be tough to do when none of the LABs are painted

Another question - when does LAB start offering restoration service?

True but for very small chips and scuffs, especially around the edges, paint would work fine.

You might try a red sharpie. I have a red one as well. No scratching, but I did rub the edges with a red sharpie and didn't notice any difference. Maybe if I had a surface scratch it would show up. Anodizing is an oxide that is dyed, more like a stain than a painted top coat. I do keep my head cover on when in the bag and not issues thus far, but It's a putter and will get dinged at some point.

Probably too much work to be worth it.

I tested a red sharpie. You're right. Thanks
