Hey MF,

Great resto and great thread. I'm in a similar place now with my VC Auto Drive. I've decided to give the deck a good repaint, seeing as it is back to bare aluminium. I'm worried though that any Hammertone paint out of a can will not be properly fuel and oil resistant unless cured in an oven. I'm looking at the silver direct to metal by Hammerite.

The other curve ball is that I don't have a lot of room for painting.

Any advice you can give? Otherwise I will try to take it to perhaps an auto shop and get them to do it.

I don't collect mowers. I just require Multiple Mowing Solutions™.
