Coadster32 793 #14 Posted December 4, 2008 Awesome job. I hope my 551 restore comes out that good. Did you brush the frame and tranny, or rattle can it? I'm having an internal dilema :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebob 45 #15 Posted December 6, 2008 sprayed every thing base/clear coat, whats is the dilema I can spray them and install in about two hours no waiting for paint to dry and if I scratch them, there easy to touch up and the cost is not as bad as it seems if you think cost to looks/ durability your way ahead, its the first time that gets $, you just cant buy just what you need you have to buy bulk, pint, quart, gallon, that the cost part, I can spray a whole round hood tractor with about a quart of base and 3/4 guart of clear.

whfan74 2,068 #16 Posted December 12, 2008 That sure does look pretty. I hope my 551 will turn out as nice as that! Enjoy the tractor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suburban 550 28 #17 Posted December 17, 2008 Looks really good Joebob. Base coat/ clear coat is the way to go for looks and durability. A little more expensive but well worth the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #18 Posted January 28, 2009 Hey Joe!!! I just realized when I posted these pics in another thread that your 551 is visible. This is what the tractor above looked like at the end of August 2008 when Joe took it home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
