Yes Mowerfreak I used the Aldi paint on the cowl. It's good stuff, like an epoxy paint doesn't seem to melt in petrol. I have been soaking rusted parts in half molasses and half water for two weeks and all rust disolved. Molasses is cheap 85c per litre at an ag shop. I am trying alloy and copper as well.
I salvage them because I can get them going and can use them and then the warden thinks some should be sold.......
The ones I do the most work I like to keep..
cheers
