great video, thanks. You obviously use lots of different paints. May I suggest anyone wanting to spruce up their own bowls could buy one or two oil based paints for models etc. (revell etc).

Absolutely -- this video was to refresh an entire collection of bowls at one bowls club. If you are doing it personally, you only need a couple of your favourite colours and you are set!

Do you do all the different colours, one one side, straight after each other? Or do you let each colour dry, before applying the next colour? It looks like the former, and if so, you work very neat and tidy.. I would be blending the colours, for sure..
@CanadianBowler

Probably best to let one side dry before flipping to another side to avoid the wet paint touching other things. Also doing multiple colours on one side shouldn't be an issue if you work from the centre outward and really make sure you clean and clear the excess paint before moving on.

Typically not for these DIY refurbished paint jobs. It should last quite while before you'd need to redo the paint.

This is a fantastic video! Thanks for sharing. My question is, are the bowls still legal if they've been customized in this way? I am only asking because I'd love to know but don't want my woods to be illegal for competition.
@CanadianBowler

Excellent question Barry! Based on the World Bowls rules as long as the colour on all painted parts match for each bowl you should be fine. The main issue with painted parts is the idea of having marked bowls (like having a set where one bowl goes straighter or has more bias) and marking it with a seperate color on the rings. So make sure they match and you should be ok. If you are still worried it's always good to check with your governing body!

as long as the paint doesn't change the diameter or circumference then it is ok. ie: apart from the playing sticker no stickers are allowed on the bowl because if 2 opposing woods where to be measured for shot the sticker can effect the out come.. I had smiley stickers on my woods and was told by the club they are illegal for the forementioned. stupid I know but it is what it is..

You won't be able to paint the whole bowl if you plan on playing with it. We've only seen a full painted bowl that is used purely for decoration. Usually only paint is for the decorative engraved areas on either side of the bowl. Applying anything to the running surface could affect the way a bowl rolls/reacts.

@CanadianBowler

Hello - I wouldn't recommend painting the whole bowl. While the etchings are fine as they are engraved into the bowl and are usually protected from general wear and tear, painting the whole bowl will ultimately be chipped and worn immediately. Will likely look pretty bad compared to the natural finish. Best to buy a coloured set if you really want a specific colour.

While I can't recommend something like car wax, I would note there are a lot of other bowls polish options -- Crack-a-jack, Bett's Bowls Grip, Winwax bowls grip, Bulldog Bowls Grip, Wilgrip, Grip-it stick and so on. I'm sure you can find something that suits your preference and helps you polish your bowls.

Hi, Ive tried this with an enamal oil based paint which seems OK but you make it look so easy. When I try to wipe excess paint off it goes all over the place. What do you use to wipe with. Ive tried gauze and tissue paper so far? The stuff you use seems a bit stiffer somehow. Thanks, Dave

Hello David, standard paper towel is used in the video. As you said, it is a slight bit stiffer and has the absorbent quality to it. Hopefully if you switch to it, that will help with the excess paint.

I'm not sure what kind of paint you might have used, but typically oil-based is best and should last for a fair amount of time. If it gets heavy use and the bowl gets banged up, is in the ditch a lot, etc. it may wear quicker. Here's a link to an example of the paint used for the bowls in the video for reference. www.dulux.ca/diy/products/specialty-paints/dulux-metalclad

Hello, it doesn't get rid of scratches but helps get rid of excess paint that causes a haze or can get into small scratches on the bowl causing it to look bad. It's to clean it up and make sure paint doesn't get into anything but the designs.

@CanadianBowler

Hi @helpful_hobbies the thinner is for removing paint. The scratches and pits in the surface after years of use can grab the paint and cause a haze, so the thinner helps get rid of that. While you can use any paint, the oil adheres and generally takes more punishment than most other paints. Really you want to try to use something that will remain on the bowl in all conditions and while also taking a beating by getting hit and falling in ditches, etc. so you don't have to constantly touch up or redo your work.

Any suggestions to fill in a small chip in the running surface of a black bowl
@CanadianBowler
2 жыл бұрын
That's a really difficult issue as unlike paint, adding something to the bowl would likely be seen as doctoring it if you aren't using a comparable substance to fill it. Typically a small chip or crack won't have an effect on the bowl, but if you have something more significant it may be something you have to talk to the manufacturer about.

Enquire at your local bowling shop, many of them provide a Bowl dressing service. This is where the bowls will have a minuscule shaving that should iron out any shallow chips or cracks. Followed by a polish afterwards.Not sure if this service only applies to Woods, rather than Plastic bowls.
