Started a new paint job

[Lucky1313]

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.

Even if that doesn't match the original red exactly it looks really good:thumbsup:

Thanks I wish I could find the real snapper paint but the dealership here never has any

I would suggest calling snapper directly (or whoever it is that owns snapper now) but the current snapper-red isn't the same as vintage red. Today's looks too orange.

Briggs and stratton own snapper now and I agree the new snappers are a different color. I wouldn't buy a new one. The old ones were built to last.

I agree the one i have has to be 25+ years old still runs and drives better than any other small rider ive tried out it was a good engineered mower built to last if maintained ...forever ! my neighbor calls it a forever investment i hope to get my forever out of it now
