The Hammered Finish in the First few Images is much better Sean.
Just remember to sweep your gun/can in a nice even motion, never stopping on the job until each side is covered. Paint each coat in a single run,top to bottom.
Let rest for 2 mins, turn then repeat the same action for the other 3 sides, this will give a nice even hammered effect. Never go over single sections as this will blotch it, recoat the whole side if necessary.
I think you've got it pretty good:)
Just some more attention to prep before painting, and youll get an even better finish.
As VMan says, bolts are better buffed cleaned plated or silvered.
Same with the axles and mounts. Attention to detail will bring much better results to the overall finish of your Machines
I reakon you've found your way Now Sean, this mower is IMO your best yet.
Cheers for the Images, and I really like the effort you put into your Hammered finish...
