What kind of paint are you thinking of using. We use Regal Red from rustuolem (sp). Others will chime in.

I have touched up a few places on my 520 where the paint peeled. The Regal red is a close enough match to make me happy.

Use Rustoleum Regal Red, rattle cans. I've painted six 's usin' this paint.

After it dries for a few weeks, I let it dry for a long time, I then coat using Rustoleum's Crystal Clear. This I spray over decals, bolts, wherever.

I did try Crystal Clear one time, coated too soon, it bubbled. That's why I wait substantial time 'tween the Regal Red and the final Crystal Clear coat. Sanded it off, repainted Regal Red, later (much) coated with Crystal Clear.

Wheels (if silver) Duplicolor Silver Wheel Paint, applies very easily. If you

miss a spot or two, doubt anyone would notice.

I use self-sticking skateboard coarse grip tape for the runnin' boards (geeze I'z gettin' old, runnin' boards?).

You might check out pic's in my gallery album.

My '90 520-8, Onan 2-cyl, that I'm rebuilding.

thank you so much, and nice 520

Been a lot of work (guess I shouldn't say "work") cleaning up this old Stallion. The price was "very" right. Saw it sittin' by a barn for months, not being used.

I use all SS bolts and lots of Never-Seez® during re-assembly. Worth it.

After the spring arrives, I'm going to work the deck. Don't need to, have two very capable Horses with their mowers ready to go.

I agree absolutely 100% with Tankman! Regal Red all the way.
