Finishing Up
With many members raving about HVLP Spray systems, I purchased an inexpensive one -- but stayed with Valspar Equipment & Implement paint (Qt.) and experienced nice results with less over spray and noxious fumes than using rattle cans. Finishing up the fender, I first started with a 8/4/1 Mix (Paint/Naphtha/Hardener) but that resulted in lots of orange peel. I wet sanded it out then tried a 8/5/1 Mix and it resulted in a glass like finish with a nice, wet look. I went with a lighter coat to avoid runs that plague a thinner mix. I plan to repaint the tins at a later date that were Valspar rattle canned. (Their enamel is the exact same shade as their spray) Tomorrow night after work I'll reinstall the rear lights. Then it's on to the mower deck and mule drive.

Looks very sharp! You did a great job painting it! I rarely measure when I top coat. Unless its urethane and I want a satin finish. More reducer = shinery finish, more hardner = harder paint and sets up quicker.

As always your work looks great!!
 Way back in the day when dad used to spray enamel his last coat was half paint and half thinner... it really made that enamel flow out and gave a glass smooth shiny finish! keep up the great work and keep the pics coming!!

Finale
Thanks Terry C, Brian, Tim, Jay and Dirty Steve! It's my maiden attempt with a spray gun...30 minutes to prep, 5 minutes to coat and 60 minutes to clean up. I used a Fuji 2203G Semi-PRO 2 - Gravity Feed Unit. (Made in Canada) Jay - That's what I learned very quickly - more thinner=more flow, so I went extremely light on the vertical sections to prevent runs. Love Valspar paint/hardener, reasonably priced and great quality. Probably only have $12. or so in paint/hardener and thinner on the fender...I would say it's less expensive than rattle cans...once you purchase the gun/compressor/hose. Way better results. The best part is I don't have to buff anything out. Done. zippy1 - They are Carlisle All Trails 4-Ply on the back (Made in US). Could not find my size for the fronts. As you all know, it's pretty cool to take a discarded, abandoned or left-for-dead piece of equipment, you put your hours into it and make it function again, look good and then use it to work for you.

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.
