She may be unpopular, she may be a little simple.... but you have to admit the Bonmow is a good looking little machine. This example is circa 1958 (Villiers flywheel date). More pics to come soon.

Craig, That looks really nice I can see you have put a lot of work into it

cheers gmax

Hi Craig, on a great restoration thus far. Well done!!

That looks grouse Craig. Check out the air filter!

Craig, What paint have you used, the blue looks great!!

Hey Darryl, thought you might like the little SB off-shoot. The blue is Septone Metallic Blue (Hammer Finish) bought in a simple spray can from Super Cheap Auto. It's slightly darker (and a lot brighter) than the original blue but still true to the original look of the mower. I've also found removing all traces of paint with warm caustic soda and then sealing the bare metal immediately with paint oil provides an excellent base for the paint to stick to.

Cheers,

Craig

Thanks Craig for the info, I will grab a couple of cans of that colour for another project I have on the go, which I will get to someday!!
