Brian01 481 #179 Posted September 21, 2015 lol...it's actually off of a lawn mower, was on a throttle or choke cable I believe.Also bought a tiller today, transmission was locked up on it, but had a pair of iron weights bolted to the front. (If I can build a mount for them) they'll go on the front of the RJ..also had a sweet running 205cc Briggs ima try n make work on it if the k90 doesn't work out.... Oh it also had a pair of 13x5.00 6 lugs that are going on the front!! All for $25! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian01 481 #191 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Okay, I have mentioned this on another thread as well, I believe it's inevitable, but does anyone have any idea how to make paint stay on a seat? I've tried and tried. Sanding and repainting several times...including today even, no matter how hard it try, every time I get on and off, either takes a big ol chip out of the paint or has some blemish of some kind. I finally just sanded it down with 60 grit, and left it, hoping that it being a little ruff, maybe it'll stay...but do have a few places, where it had chipped, that's down to bare metal. I'm thinking. I'm just gonna leave it be. It's either that or take it all down to bare metal and just clear coat it.

953 nut 51,682 #192 Posted November 23, 2015 Paint the seat then clear coat with catalyzed hardener or send it off to be powder coated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #193 Posted November 23, 2015 I don't know of any place around here that does powder coating. The harder clear cloat may be an option. This is what it looks like as of now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #194 Posted November 24, 2015 Gave this a try...added some more antique white to the bad/bare spots, couple coats of clear, antique white again then a couple more clear coats...we'll see how that holds uo....curing now.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRanger 1,468 #195 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Spray can paint does not get as hard as auto paint or any other catalyzed paint. You also need to make sure you have a good primer coat. If you're spraying paint directly over bare metal, that will also cause this. I'd strip the seat to metal, spray with a self etching primer, let dry a day or two, spray couple coats of white, let dry a few days, and clear coat with a compatible enamel clear. Let dry a few more days. Hardest part is you need to keep your ass off the seat for a about a week. Rattle can paint is soft, even when cured, and needs a good primer underneath as well. I'm betting your issue is lack of a good primer and using it before it is fully cured. Dry on the top is not the same as fully cured. Most spray paints take a week or longer to fully cure. Especially at lower air temps. I'd take it in the house for a few days when you're done so it dries completely.

Brian01 481 #196 Posted November 24, 2015 It has self etching primer, white and clear...yeah your right about spray cans not getting as hard. And yes that is my plan to stay off of it for awhile n let the paint cure good for a week or so. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
