What do you guys use for paint on the bottom of the decks? I recently blasted my deck and want to put something on the bottom that stays. I figured I would use an oil based primer, then paint. Was told to paint, then wait a week then cover it with slip plate. Also told by an old guy to paint the underside with Meyers snow plow paint as it is real durable. Mow about 2 acres a week with it. 60" deck
Thanks, LH ------------- '40 WC puller, '65 770 Ollie *ALLIS EXPRESS contact* I can explain it to you, BUT I cannot understand it for you!! |

I wonder if 'rhinoliner' or whatever it's called would be good to use. The stuff they coat pickup beds with, sometimes the frames,wheelwells,etc. jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Glyptal - is used as electrical insulation material for painting winding in motors to prevent electrical shorts - also used to seal pipe joints and such - good properties . but unsure of slipperiness. Might work fine. ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

there is a spray-on "TEFLON" coating that works great,but you need to clean and re-coat it every year. i bought a new mower once and the dealer coated the bottom of the deck with it for me, but i cant remember what its called. ------------- 190XT 2WD45 WF D15 D14 CA BIG10 302 & 303 bailers 77G rake 80R mower 6 plows and alot more |

Right, I hauled it for GE years ago before they sold it off to another company. This stuff can go right on clean bare metal and it doesn't come off. A lot of racing engine builders coat the inside of engines with it to keep oil from sticking to the rough cast iron. Makes a nice smooth surface almost like a plastic coating. ------------- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |
