Currently renovating an old Atco cylinder mower and it needs painting.

What's a good paint to use?

Was thinking of PlastiKote but open to suggestions.

Will be doing it by hand as I don't have access to a spray-booth 🙁

Satin black BBQ paint. No primer needed and really easy to get a nice finish 🙂

Back when I did some car restoration I used some heat resistant engine enamel. It was pretty durable and fairly inexpensive. It came in red and green, though obviously not in the same tin

Epiglass PA10 is the benchmark for metal primers.
