Looks awesome, but for the paint I think yellow with a black stripe up the hood would look killer, plus it would tell people your coming so get out of the way!

Finished squirting the last color this morning..........

Sorry that the pics are on the DARK side....darn flash on camera was not working when I needed it to!

Still needs to be lettered up with my primary sponsors decals...gotta put all the other "REQUIRED" decals on as well.

Hopefully I'll have this rolling this afternoon and get some OUTSIDE in the SUN shots....it looks soooo much better in the daylight!






Here is one when the flash decided to work!!!




Mower was painted with TRACTORS SUPPLY Farm and Implement paint (rattle can version). Paint and supplies cost me aprox. $30.00.

After I sanded down the grill for paint...it was still kinda PITTY from all the rust that was on it...I then decided to spray the grill with a can of BEDLINER coating. It gave it a nice texture and should help resist chipping while debris is thrown at it on the track.
