Ive sent out some inquiry emails about getting the cylinder bored out, first quote to come back was $110. Seems alot considering the cost to do everything else on the mower. How does this compare to other people who have had it done?
While im waiting to hear back from a couple i figured ill turn my attention back to the paint. Ive decided to just leave the couple of run marks. they arent major and no one is going to be up close enough to the base to even see them when its back together. I dont want to risk taking off too much paint and then its ruined. So im just going to paint the "Victa" silver and then throw some clear over it all. Bigted, you mentioned above that there are 2 types of clear available, enamel and acrylic. Can i use either, or is it dependent on what type of paint was used for the colour coat? Can they not be mixed? I was going to use the enamel based on your suggestion, how many coats of clear go on?
Also i want to repaint the wheels and plastic hub-cap type covers on them. Whats the process for painting plastic like this? Is there a specific primer and paint for plastic, or can i use the same cans of paint i bought to do the other metal parts?
