OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Paint and Decals PAINT HELP - Some Suggestions

I would like to know what paint people use to paint up the mower bases as i did a practise base n used cheap pressure pack paint. And when fuel got on it n i wiped the fuel off it alsp wiped the paint straight off. So what paint doesn fuel n oil wreck? An can be brought in pressure pack form :-)

Generally I use wattyl kill rust, the sun fades it badly if left out but otherwise its pretty durable. The pressure pack cans take about 6 hours to get touch dry though.

So does that paint withstand petrol an oil?

kill rust works great . and you can use auto type touchup cans , a great choice too

Yep, I use killrust out of a tin, painted with a brush ,they come up great.

Ok thanks ill try that :-)

pressure pack paint like an engine enamel and any of the hammered metal look paints work realy good wih fuel and oil..just look for Automotive type of pressure pack paint they work good....

Hi to All,
I also used Wattyl Killrust, it works very well...just give it time to dry properly...that is most important.

I got told a long time ago that Killrust does not have much UV resistance and thats why it fades so bad, havent used it in years so might be different now, I did just buy some for the colour match for the Victa emblem on my 18 but that wont see a lot of sun so should be OK. my 2c worth.
