Here are some Golo's I had blacked out from the Custom Shop...

I have researched this and found that Scotty's Custom Shop is probably the best answer.  You can complete your request online at http://www.scottycameron.com/custom-shop/classic.aspx then ship it to them. Unfortunately there is a significant turnaround time.  I am still contemplating...good luck. 

i got my circa 62 redone last year by the custom shop and came back flawless here is a photo

 

I have thought about getting my Studio Stainless done.

Would it be better to send it in and get it restored or purchase a new Newport 2?

Looks like about $150 difference.

Love to hear your thoughts, Mahalo!

Send it in, the studio stainless will come back looking beautiful, plus you can do some customization to make it one of a kind with stamping, paint-fill, as well as a cool grip and head cover.

I'm not too crazy about the new stuff, the weights make it look a bit tacky, i like the cleaner look of the studio stainless
