Hi DB,
If you use a two pack matte black it'll survive the riggers of what a lawnmower goes through, but on the other hand unless you work in a plating shop where you can smuggle the bits and pieces through as foreigny's you're going to find this the most expensive Scotty in history apart from a certain Supercut I know of which I can supply photos of, btw that one is black and chrome.
Cheers,
BB.
