I use Plow guard that is made for coating the mould boards on a farm plow. It brushes on easy and gives protection to the metal. When it wears off just clean and brush on again.

Spray on bedliner. Stuff seems durable. :beerchug:

I would avoid anything textured, it will be harder to clean and the grass will stick to it more.

Plow guard or any other paint or coating is made to keep a plow from rusting in the off season.
Once the plow is used, it wears off in less than 1 acre.
Hell, I have to replace shins and points every other year

The main thing that causes the blades to "wear" is the sand/grit that is sucked up by the mower, and propelled out of the discharge,,

So, in effect, each time you mow, you are sand blasting the underside of the deck

So, to answer your original question, I gotta ask,,,
"When you sand blast, what type of paint remains behind? :bigthink:"

THAT would be the paint to use!! :clap:

:biggrin2:

It ain't gonna happen.:beerchug:

What they said.:beerchug:
I've painted two deck bottoms, gave up, nothing I tried stayed on. So now every fall, before putting the mowers away. Clean them good, and apply waist oil.
Sure, there are paintless patches, but no rust...:beerchug:

I actually use a hose and spray every time. I don't get build up. But the waste oil, maybe a couple time a year. Might give this ago. Thx fellas
