[AT] coating for lawnmower deck

[charlie hill]

Whatever you use the trick to a good job is the surface prep.    You need to 
sandblast the bottom of the deck and get down to bright, clean metal.  I 
guess you could just mow a sandy lot somewhere and replace the blades when 
you finish.  That might work and might be cheaper.
