CONTINUING THE WORK


I've been delayed a bit with various things, but still making some progress.
Not all dealers stock Kubota paint and I prefer to use that even though the price is egregious.
I used Kubota Dark Grey:
--Quart Part number 70000-73358 and
--Rattle can Part number 70000-00210.
These are the High Gloss versions and not the Semi Gloss.


Here are a few pictures of the ongoing progress.

The next two photos are how rust is being converted using OSPHO.
Rust turns black as the process continues.
I don't know why that section of the axle shows as orange - it's not paint.

The result after two days was a slightly rough surface ready for primer.

Frame supports after cleaning and before/after blasting.
I decided to powdercoat these.

I used high zinc powder primer, then top coated with Dark Grey powder

I had both white and grey primers so I used both:

The first color coat turned out rather nice!
