Hey Mal, Thanks for the kind words

Colour is Ford Sherwood Green Metallic, engine is the usual off the shelf Chevy Orange, so yes very well guessed! The decals I had specially screen printed to get the true metallic gold inks rather than the yellow you get from digital reproductions.

I've got a little retail showroom with lots of auto parts on display but I think the car guys will appreciate a well done mower. I did most of this one at home with standard off the shelf acrylic lacquer and enamels as they're a little more faithful to the factory finishes on mowers. 2 pack tends to look much too shiny for a resto. I'll be sure to grab some progress pics of the next mower in the workshop so you can see the setup. What line of work are you in?

Here's a couple of pics of the custom paintwork I do if you're interested. The Ford rocker cover is painted in a custom red with silver lettering airbrushed in, the wheels were done for a Ferrari F430 race car and the flaming skulls LS1 engine covers were done for a customer just this morning
