Newbie doing first rebuild

[swright]

Just bought my first Snapper RER. I have been wanting one for years and now have the time and money to play around with.... and my wife has been bugging me to mow her grandmothers yard (ours isn't big enough to merit a rider).... so I bought one from Craigslist. Paid $120 and it isn't in bad shape. It is going to need a new battery and some carb work to run, but the motor seems pretty new and has good compression. I'm considering doing a full tear down and rebuild. I also have some truck bed liner paint and am thinking about using it to line the inside of the deck... maybe the entire deck itself. Has anybody done that on theirs and how did it turn out?

I haven't used that before. But I have used hammer spray on the bottom had good results

I just did it on my "first build" and it came out great. I only did the underneath of the deck, very easy to do and well worth it.
