Slip Plate - Graphite Paint For Lawn Mower Decks

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I decided to undercoat the deck of my new Ferris mower before the 2024 season starts. I recommend scuffing the surface w/ 320 grit sandpaper followed by cleaning / wiping with ethanol or Isopropanol. Lastly, make sure your garage or paint area is at least 70 degrees and wait at least 8 hours between coats for the best results. I used 3 coats and obtained very good results.
I bought the quart and sprayed Vs brush much better outcome brushing leaves rough texture or ridges that hold grass spray is smooth
How long did your coating last? I looked the other day and some of my paint has worn back down to the stock red paint...
I enjoyed your video. I have two things to ask you about:
1) What factors lead you to purchase a Ferris mower over all other brands available?
2) How is the Slip Plate coating performing under the deck?
How much of a difference does the Slip Plate actually make?
Can you make a "post mowing" video showing the underside of the mower, and ease/difficulty of grass clipping removal?
Hi John: the biggest reason for the Ferris is the factory is about an hour away and I really want to support a local company - given today's economy, I wanted to buy something that was made here in the USA. With that being said, the second and still large reason is the performance - Ferris is a very good brand with the quality of the metals used plus design. I have about 8 hours on the machine and it's performed flawless. The slip plate is still being evaluated but spoiler alert... I'd not do it again since I'm seeing areas that wore off very fast. My plan is to do a second vid at the end of the season to give a good review. I do think what coating is "left" does help to prevent grass build to some extent - still too early on to give a solid report. I will however come back in Sept / oct with the follow up. Thx for the excellent questions! Cheer, Alan
@@Moto-Tobo No coating will ever work I dont believe !
