Got all the repairs done to the "new" mower deck , all I need to
do now is bolt stuff back on it - after a sandblast and some paint .
To my critics - I think you might have been confused , the deck with
the serious cancer is going to be scrapped . The best parts of both
will be kept . --

I would have used POR-15 on this deck:

I haven't decided what to coat it with , there's a chance I can get it
done with Rhino Liner . A good friend runs a car resto business and he's a
dealer . He's also the one who has the sandblaster I'll be using to clean it
up . I'd like to have it powder coated , but the budget won't go there .
Probably end up using an industrial enamel paint .

Because much of the metal is eaten a way, I don't think powder coating is a good idea. I think it's faster and easier to use POR-15 which gets hard as hell. It drives very much like a ceramic. I think this is the way to go on metal that's severely compromised like your deck is. If the metal was in great shape I'd powder coat it. I would not use Rhino Liner period because I don't think it's really meant for an application like this.
