Didn't get much done, just the wheel painted black. Just need to clean up the rubber now.

Rear wheels. In the home stretch, just have to paint the other side of these, the seat and them I can reassemble. The engine paint will be last

looking great

my trany is out in the sun drying after i triple etchted it and washed it off.

Sun bake for a few hours is perfect for the paint. I did the same thing.

Did you use a spray paint can or a spray gun? And what high heat paint should you use for a muffler and engine tins?

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Got home tonight from work and did the seat for my daughters suburban and the gas tank for my suburban. I use enamel spray can. If you prep right and know how to coat and layer the paint it comes out nice. I never painted mufflers, I just order new ones. As for engine Tins I use the same enamel tractor paint, international red.

Is there going to be an extra wee seat for the dolly? And perhaps a sippy cup holder?

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Well I need cotter pins, and a new carriage bolt for the seat. Engine is not ready yet. Got most of it together though now. 

[Amcwheel85 2,059]

Looks awesome!

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Put the new carriage bolt in the seat, and put the throttle/ choke plate on. Also made a tool box liner for the tool box. Painted my belt cover for my suburban. Had a party to go to so I didn't get much done. 

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Got the red one back home today, going to get the engine in tommarow and gas tank on. I'm still deciding if I should put the original Kohler on the pink and tan one or a new Kohler 4 hp, or a 3 hp predator.

The white on the red one is called antique white, it's rustoleum brand.
