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 .

Rhino Liner or a clone gets my vote for this, Seriously good for this
sort of application!!!


Does that stuff shed sticky grass well? The coarse texture I've felt
when looking at spray-on bedliners didn't seem the type which would
work well for easy cleaning. I've always _much_ preferred the
slide-in bedliners.

You can get liner that doesn't have the texture as well.

When you consider just what goes on under that deck when you're mowing
it's hard to come up with something that can be easily applied but can
handle the abuse!
