Thanks. Meant to ask the NAPA I deal with but forgot when I was last there. Plan is for it to be a short term thing...but knowing me it will become permanent. Thanks to the dirt road the chopper gets washed with a pressure washer. Have a pump style weed sprayer filled with Simple Green. Spray it down, rinse it off and hit it with the air hose to dry it. With that being said really don't see the point of painting it...
