there are still some bits to get to complete it. It was a satisfying feeling when it started right up after only a couple of cranks. in all, i replaced the spark plug, air filter, fuel filter, fuel lines, fuel shut-off valve, battery / starter cables, starter pinion gear, the rubber gasket that holds the oil dipstick in place as well as changing the oil. in addition to all of the cosmetics i ended up doing quite a bit of tuning up of the motor. Reassembly of all the lil bits i had taken off over the 2-3 weeks i was sanding went surprisingly smoothly. i have no idea how it even differs from regular rustoleum, but it only costs about 50 cents more per can so i'm sure it's worth it? :)

in so much as a can of spray paint can be considered "profesional," sure.

I applied one coat of rustoleum white primer then 2 coats of the not-quite-snapper-red rustoleum "professional" enamel. i thought i'd feel at least a little bit disappointed in my decision not to take off the engine and the deck to be able to completely touch every square inch with that rotten wire brush. I probably ended up putting 15+ hours total just into sanding off the rust / old paint.
