MMM bottom paint

theboman · Dec 23, 2002

Okay the MMM is off. Spring is off. The grass has been washed out from the bottom. When the old power washer was eating the grass buildup it ate some paint too.
I plan on repainting the area but not exactly sure what type of paint would be the best.

Well if you never want to paint it again and have no problems with rust use POR-15. This stuff is awesome! I haved used it for a long time now on many different pieces of equipment with impressive results. I have my backhoe bucket painted with it and it has not worn off or let rust come through. I would sand blast the bottom of the deck to remove all the old paint and provide a good surface for the paint to adhere. Then brush paint this stuff on. it's a bit pricey but worth every penny(go to www.por15.com) And make sure you follow the warnings, if you get this stuff on your skin it will have to shed off.(it's like having semi permanent tatoo)

Opps. I goofed. Should have been in Kubota owning/operating.

I can't use that paint. I have to coat my fingers with paint, grease or oil before using any of those products. It just happens magically, kinda like Santa appearing and vanishing in the twikle of an eye.

I don't have a MMM, but if I did. I think that I would paint the bottom with Slip-Plate. It works really good on most things. It is a graphite impregnated paint.
