I guess this is just about it. Just need to paint the quick release handle bolts for the handle and quick paint and installation of the blade disc and it's complete.
I wish I just left the Victa sign unpainted. It didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Some yellow versions of the Vortex just had the raised Victa symbol left yellow.

Overall the mower looks amazing.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
