Jay's build

I sometimes have a local body/paint guy paint stuff for me if the weather is not good (I have an outdoor spray booth). Last job he did for me he charged $225, incl the acrylic enamel paint, to shoot a JD 400 garden tractor. The area painted would be about the same as golf cart. I totally prepped everything. All he had to was shoot it. Turned out nice. Looks like a factory paint job. If you can find somebody like him it's probably not worth trying to use a gun or using rattle cans. Unless you're like me and want to do everything yourself whenever possible.

Forgot to mention that if you do paint it with rattle cans make sure you have enough of them. Get 3 or 4 more than you think you need. You can't really use the bottom 1/3 of a can if you're going for a nice finish. Pressure drops off too much and it turns into a crap shoot.

Good looking cart Jay, I know you must be happy. Nice job, all your hard work paid off. What's next on your list of mods? Some off-road lights would looks good?

I thought about the lights and still may do it. First I want to mount a single driving light under the rear step and wire it through a relay to the reverse buzzer. This way I could have some light for backing up

That would be cool. Would this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MARINE-BOAT-...d12d7f&vxp=mtr
