Come & see what a little paint can do

Maybe I could Armor-All them too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The whole job took place over two days. A few hours each day offset by some shooting time at the pistol range.
First I wire wheeled the surface then cleaned the grease away by wiping the metal with paper towels sprayed with brake cleaner. Next, I masked the labels, grease fittings, hoses & pins. Masking took less time than you'd think and made for a great looking finished product. Hoses were covered with Saran Wrap and masking tape was used everywhere else. Painting involved careful layered coats from four cans of Chevy Orange Engine paint (great color match, thanks for the tip fellow Kioti TBNers!). I'm really pleased with the results and hope I can update my user image soon with the "new" look.

The vast majority of the CK20 is metal. Just trim pieces are plastic, and they can be replaced fairly inexpensively.

Kentr....
Nice paint job, it really makes an older tractor look new. I know about the Chevy engine orange being a good match, but what do you use for the dark gray match?

Unfortunately, I didn't do any gray touch-up, so I can't answer your question. Not much gray on my machine anyway (unless you count my new engine). My wheel hubs, axles, frame, etc. are all blue.
