Thanks B_B and B_S for telling of your experiences with the paint. I think I'll just go and get it by car as I would like to try the green paint on my Waltons store brand mower that the green will look nice on. B_B, what grit do you use for preparing the surface and is prepsol good enough a cleaner or soap and water and a dry in the sun better? As seen in the pics provided, there is exposed aluminium as well as some filed down Selleys Knead It epoxy filler (green arrow) on the edge. Would a spray of etch primer be advisable on the exposed bits? Any pointers on the chrome work of the nose cone and handles on the store brand in the last pic ? There is supposed chrome in a spray can but I do know it will never match real chrome, but one I used to use from Septone at Super Cheap Auto was a cut above plain silver.
P.S how many cans of each should I get? I was thinking three to start with.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
