OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums General Discussion Forum OutdoorKing Showcase Victa 18 before and after

Victa 18 before in rust colour and after in red. I already made a green machine and red seemed more fun. All matt back might have been fun. Maybe I'll change her colour after a few mows. The wheels are not original but I plan to use it and didnt want to waste some good old wheels (and one was made out out wood !).

Very good effort none the less.Even though it is the wrong colour.What sort of paint did you do it in?

Kill rust. Not the spray paint, just normal paint. Worked out OK. Seems to handle the heat so far.

Hi Slothland, and a warm welcome to the forum. We all like to learn new things and tinker here.
I will be doing my first restore on a Victa 18 Special very soon, so I hope mine turns out as good as yours!!
Good job!!
Once again...

That looks pretty good, I wouldnt worry about the correct colour at least it was saved from a metal pile somewhere!
