OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Paint and Decals SCOTT BONNAR - Model 45 Paint

Hi to all ODK members,

The following is an update on the hammertone finish for the Scott Bonnar Model 45 (Series 2) twin rail mowers.

I found this post by one of members Bergy, buried in another thread...He last visited this site on the 13th November last year.
Here is an excerpt from his post and pics of his machine:




Yes the 45's are great machines and I reckon they have heaps of character. As far as the paint goes that I used ,I simply took the catcher into my local Colour Stop paint shop and they have done a great job of colour matching by eye.
The formula they used was 2 litres of hammerdry silver using Wattyl Ultra Tint. 360-45, 370-71.5 and 550-95.75.

I found the hammerdry very user-friendly and went a long way. With the two litres I have painted the two mowers in the photos and have enough left to do another. For undercoat I used two 400 gram aerosol cans of Wattyl Super Etch industrial primer (grey)per mower.
Hope this has been some help.
Regards Bergy.

I also hope this will help our ODK members that are restoring Model 45 Series 2 machines.

Coming from Wattyl, I'm guessing it's an enamel paint - as I don't think they do automotive paints (and I'm not a big fan of using enamel). The colour in the photos does look good though

Hi Michael,

It is an industrial enamel finish...Looks good mate, here are the specs... HERE

Definitely not for me Darryl, but for those who just want to shoot their paint and be done, it looks like a great way to go
