Hi bonnar bloke, glad you appreciate my work. Yes the 45's are great machines and I recon they have heaps of character. As far as the paint goes that I used ,I simply took the catcher into my local Colour Stop paint shop and they done a great job of colour matching by eye. The formula they used was 2 litres of hammerdry silver using Wattyl Ultra Tint. 360-45
370-71.5
550-95.75
I found the hammerdry very user friendly and went a long way. With the two litres I have painted the two mowers in the photos and have enough left to do another. For undercoat I used two 400 gram aerosol cans of Wattyl Super Etch industrial primer (grey)per mower. My 17 inch in the photo, going by the B&S engine code is a 1977 model and the 20 inch was built in 1974.
Hope this has been some help.
Regards Bergy.
