Howd that turn out? oil based was that spray on? Sounds long lasting , I hope this paint job last a few seasons but here in florida were tough on these mowers they have to work almost year round and Im a tinkerer so a few bad spots ill probably redo it it was easy enough this time around so may try that oil based next shot

Yes it was spray on from tsc. Its not perfect snapper red but its stronger than the krylon. My granddad used to build snappers in Florida. He would run them all year too. By the way I will get the exact brand of paint for ya. I remember its a tractor paint.

That would be great thanks long lasting always sounds like a good option
