Well done you! Have been watching progress with interest, you've done great! Looking forward to seeing powder coating.
Doing nothing of great interest myself. Neglected my old Hayter last autumn and it's let me know it ever since I got it out in Spring! Have the Allen Scythe to tart up this winter, mechanically sound. Fellas having a chuckle at a little thing like me move it around! Huh! lol
Will be watching powder coating with great interest! Thank you!

Hello the electrostaticy is fantastic the powder is so flexible once cured. You can powder coat tin foil crumple it up ....unfortunately fold and the powdercoat is still intact. I didn't use Primer my alloys were done without Primer 5 years ago and still great and it's a lawning mower on a budget the powder I got of eBay roughly £15 per kg for simple colours. When you get into chrome and candies the price goes up. Withe the candy and chrome you also do 2 coats and the cure together to get some amazing colours and effects.
This is the oven I made out of a old filing cabinet and a 99p cooker of eBay:)

Hello all I am new to the group,i have bought my father in law a ride on mower as he is staring to struggle doing his big garden by hand.I am not made of money so had to get a fixer up and come across a westwood gazelle w11. It was in a sorry state but I have spent the last 4 weeks taking back to bare metal and powdercoating every part , replacing every nut and bolt. My question is I have spent all this time doing the restoration I didn't think to ask the question are these any good at cutting grass?

Hello and welcome to the Forum............... Most impressed with your effort to produce a superb finish on that machine. Others here will know much more about Westwoods than me, so can't offer an opinion on quality of it's mowing performance. I'm sure your Father-in-Law will enjoy using it irrespectively.
