when i stripped my base i hit it with a wire wheel on the angle grinder, then washed all the dust off and dried it with compressed air before priming and painting.
then i spilled fuel on it the day after [knocked the drum over] and it hadnt completley dried and stupid me tried to wipe it off with a rag, that was bye bye to some of the shiny new paint not to worry though, this is my everyday mower untill i fix the PRO460 i found the other day, then my old one will cop the immaculate rebuild and live on a strip of fake grass in the house well hopefully she will let me lol
