if you look close it looks like a mental patient painted it, the spray pack nozzle broke so i had to punch a hole in the side with a screwdriver. my fingers are all green. lucky i didnt do it to the 18

Hello Sean,

I don't know what to say...
A mental patient ... I guess it has a crazed look to it...
Perhaps an art gallery would purchase it because of its 'symbolic meaning'...
I think it expresses the inner angst of modernity ...

this is my wifes mower she is not happy. she needs a mower to mow her lawns so i offered her my 170 twin. doesnt believe me

If you offered her the twin i think you might need to get your head checked.lol
Yes, it does look like a bulldog had been slurping a bowl of custard, but so what, if its a daily driver once you get some dirt and grass on it you'll never even notice the paint job.

Oh Bigted,

the life you must have led - and the canine 'experiments' you've conducted.
Great imagery, but what is seen cannot be unseen.

Sean, the imagery of punching a hole in the side of the can is worthy of a Marx
Brothers script. Brilliant! I also feel the axle and wheels are positionally
compromised for best use and effect.

All very entertaining.

ok i tried my hardest this is the result

it will look ok with some silver bits n pieces , maybe some crc spray on the black bit's ? silver muffler and a new s/plug and allsgood , nice touch on the catcher too .
amazing how much better they look in one piece again !

Yes it does look a bit sad,I can certainly tell you had an argument with the can. I think the can won. After breaching the can how did you get the paint out?
Bigted wow,but I'd disagree with the bulldog,I have two Shar pei and when it comes to drinking fluids they are by far the messiest drinkers of any dog I've seen.
I'm just feeling sorry for the bbq it looks like its been at a saint Patrick's day party. Enjoy the green sausages.
Seanw you know you can try again you'll just have to wait for the paint to dry before removing it.
Thanks for Sharing,you have brought a smile to our faces.

How did I get the paint out? used the smallest mini screwdriver punched it into the can tipped it upsidedown and wooshka for about 5 seconds, all my tools are green now and so are my hands and bare feet

I must say, you don't muck around ! Certainly a man of action :-)

Hello Shaun!

Andy Wahol said, famously, every one has 15 minutes of fame.
But "wooshka for about 5 seconds" is a new level altogether! YOLO

The imagery - from mental patient, to custard Bulldog, to Shar Pei
gulper, to green hands and feet - all make for a very funny read.

Thank you

p.s. As long as 50 shades of green cover both sides of the mower!

If nothing else you have given us all a laugh.
Thanks seanw.

Sean, looks good overall, now put it to work, go cut something.
