Hi,
It's been a while. Life got busy and the SB45 lost out, but I am now back into it.
First a big thank you to Bonnar Bloke for pressing my rail straight and the chat, you know your stuff.
I have painted the reel delicious red and had it sharpened with new bearings along with a new bed knife.
After tossing up between buying a compressor and gun etc, paying someone to spray it, or go the spray can route. I decided I couldn't justify paying for a compressor to paint the chassis. After reading some posts I decided to get a couple of cans of Galmet Jade Green. It is quite a bit lighter than the original colour as you can see compared to chain cover.

Don't know if it's too light for me or not but want to get it finished as spring is here and i want to mow with it.
Ordered some parts tonight end caps thrust bearing etc. Hoping to move quickly now
