P.S. I did replace the upper and lower handles with a better set of chrome ones i had here after this photo was taken.
Didn't even notice. I was paying attention to the paint on the base. Looks mint in the pics.
Remember I found one like it with no handles at all!
I was given a pair of rather shabby ones with old white paint and some rust over it. I painted them black. Wish I knew what paint I used. They've held up well in the four years since I did them.
PS just had a closer look and it appears it had had a fresh coat of green applied. Makes the mower look a million bucks! If so, what is the paint? The colour match is spot on (in the pics at least).
