Most of the Victa mufflers i have are covered in a fine layer of rust and after washing and tarting up the mower they stand out like dogs balls as screaming for attention. But it just aint worth the hassle of doing a proper paint job on a quick fixer upper.
So had the idea today to hit the muffler with a fine wire brush and then paint with rust converter, converting the ugly iron oxide to a nice stable black iron phosphate. Took all of 5 minutes, used less than a thimble full of rust buster and it looks a million times better with a nice black patina finish...and it'll stop the rust from advancing too. So maybe an idea for your next mower refresh!!!
