I've researched this myself here and see a lot of people say they use Testors enamel paint. I think it's model paint. I have some Ben Hogan Edge irons that I plan on working on this winter.

I've painted my MP-33's with a light blue and they look great but it was a struggle for me. The lettering of the MIZUNO is very shallow and it was so very easy to wipe out some of the paint.

for the shallow ones, I just let them set overnight, used a wet cloth (tissue) with acetone and wiped very lightly. I need to get some orange and take care of the R in my R9.

If you're worried about removal of excess paint after you fill, cut a playing card into small strips and use it as a squeegie to scrape off the excess. Makes it much easier to clean up after everything dries.

Acetone will work, I depending on the project use a rag, q-tip, or soak it in a bowl of it.

I've found the best stuff to be the extra string lacquer thinner found at Ace hardware. Either dip a toothbrush in it and then rub on the clubs itself, or pour a small bowl and soak the club heads in it for 5 or 10 minutes. Comes RIGHT off.

I just removed my paintfill last night and redid my clubs. I just put some paint thinner in a cup and grabbed a handful of q-tips. Dip the q-tip in the thinner and just start rubbing the area with the paint fill. It may take a couple of q-tips as they start to turn the color of the paint fill you are removing.

Acetone is good stuff. Doesn't take much effort. Just apply, let it set for a second and the paint should start to come out. I removed the paint from my Cameron and didn't need toothpicks or anything like that to chip resisting paint out.

Don't stick your club heads in a bucket of acetone. Acetone weakens and softens epoxy, and epoxy is what holds the heads on the shafts. A little bit on a q tip will do fine. Also be careful around your ferrules, acetone will melt them. You can dispose of it by pouring it into a pan of some kind and putting it outside.
