Chris G 3,274 #1 Posted March 5, 2021 A good friend of mine owns this machine. He picked it up last summer for a good deal with the mower deck and snow blower. He brought it in to change the oil and we ended up tearing it down quick and going through it mechanically and clean it up. I figured id share. We started pics after we started. But i will find a before pic. 10 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raposo 528 #8 Posted March 9, 2021 looks great! What did you do to the factory paint? Just sand and wax or did you clear coat it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,274 #9 Posted March 9, 2021 All of the exposed paint was wet sanded and cleared. All the metal underneath or not seen, was degreased and then sprayed with a undercoating that castle makes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,142 #10 Posted March 9, 2021 What's the paper grit sequence ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,274 #11 Posted March 11, 2021 Depending on how bad it is to start. I usually start with a 220 grit lightly sand. So it dont scratch to deep in the paint. Then work my way up to a 1200 grit. Then after 2 coats of clear lightly wet sand again with a 2000 grit and then final clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
