Default 125 Paint Job

I got tired of looking at 3 rattle can paint jobs, runs, rust and scratches..

I used paint stripper and a pressure washer and got it down to what was left of the OE paint. sanded it quick with a DA and sprayed 2 thick coats of epoxy primer on it. I'll wet sand that next and epoxy seal it, and paint.
its not going to be a show paint job but it'll be one color of yellow and no rust.
I did pull the wire harness out so it wont be painted. and ordered the new decals from maplehunterdecalstexas.com

That should look pretty good when you're done

Could you share some info on painting? How much primer and top coat did you use? ( number of coats of each too please ) Also, what kind of equipment you're using.

I'm interested in painting but never did anything more than rattlecan.

Thanks
Jeff

if this was already covered, a link would suffice.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
