W
e all want to take good care of our ice resurfacer.
There's maintenance and repairs to keep it functioning, but what
about its aesthetics? All of those trips around the ice and the paint
job will eventurally wear off over the course of a resurfacer's life in
the cold, wet rink. A rust spot will break through the paint to make that perfect panel
look a little rough around the edges. Rust spots can occur naturally due to moisture
and temperature conditions, but they can appear more quickly if there are scratches in
the paint that expose bare metal.
But that doesn't mean you have to leave your resurfacer looking old and worn.
Instead, follow along with these five steps to repair and paint over those imperfections,
and get your machine looking like new.
