Today was paint day!! I got it all done in one swing before the rain this week. I am loving this 3M Accuspray 2.0 gun. No cleanup! Paint turned out pretty good and I got the wheels but I'll post them once I get tires on them! This is Toro red bought from a dealer about 15 years ago. The paint looks really bright in the pictures from the light in the paint booth. This is the paint used on my RJ-58 and 702 projects.

You’re doing a nice job and sure it will look great. I have to say that machine looked great before the restore. I am a patina guy.

I got it mostly put together from start to now in about 4 hours today. Still needs a few small odds and ends done to wrap it up. But this is how it will look. Put back together with all 304 stainless hardware.
