I just took 220 grit sand paper to it and dulled the whole thing. I masked off the reflectors and the BushHog ID tag as I didn't think I could get them to stick again if I took them off, and I liked the idea of having them on there. I also left the Model numbers on, but painted over them so the BB can still be identified as a BUSH HOG. For the price (and quality) of the BH, I wanted it to still be identifible as such if I ever decided to sell it one day.
For the paint, I just went to the local TSC and bought their JD Green to cover the Bush Hog yellow. I made it look pretty, but knew I shouldn't be too picky with it, since I have a lot of work planned for it. I've used the BB about 25 hours so far to help excavate where my garage will be going and landscaping around it. I have since worn a lot of the green off on the inside back and side walls, and even some of the BH yellow to where there is bare metal now. I like to keep my things looking nice, so it'll probably be "touched up" before winter. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
