Soon.

Other guy is right, hammer finish rustoleum. I stripped it with dichloromethane based paint stripper, caustic soda was not good enough to eat the existing paint. Then hit it with a wire brush on a drill to get the stubborn bits, a single coat of rust inhibiting primer, then 3 light layers of hammer finish. Replaced all the screws with new ones, pretty fucking happy with the result.

Oh, hit the plastic around the switch with pic related to get it black again. Just keep wiping it on till the plastic stops absorbing it. Enjoy your new car fresh power switch.

Mine isn't even on that level, it was like $35. Interestingly it runs almost true with a diamond wheel 3D printed adapter, it's only with the stock stone grinding wheel on the stock mounting system that it rattles. I think the stones weren't centered properly in the first place.

I see your manually powered mower, and raise you the soft puttering of your antique tractor as you make laps cutting your grass, basking in the warm sun and full of pride of self ownership.
