Painting Golf Clubs

I am attempting to put paint a logo on the head of my golf driver. Does anyone know how to do this? An alternative is to place a sticker of some sort on the top of the club head. Any information would be helpful.

It probably can be done, Paul, but first you need to figure out what meal the head of your driver is made of, and/or what metal it is finished with. As somewhat of a simplification, paint will not stick to chrome, so you'd need to remove the chrome. A light but thorough sanding with fine sandpaper may remove the chrome and leave a nicely scuffed nickel surface you can try to paint (although I haven't tried it).

I'd certainly suggest you try it with an old valueless club before attempting it on your prize possession :-)
