Repainting A Motor Cover

Recommended Posts

Matt's right - and it will yellow and crack pretty quickly exposed to the weather. You need an automotive clearcoat. You can buy them in aerosol cans but the best are 2 part high solids clear coats that are mixed and sprayed while wearing a proper protective mask. You could probably do the painting, then run it by an auto paint shop to have them shoot the clear for a reasonable price.

This might not apply to custom fancy work, but, outboard motor factory colors are available in spray cans from the motor dealerships and do not require clear coating to match the original color. Works good for me. Musky Glenn

Glenn,

Do you know if the factory will sell them direct to us, or if there's a way to buy them?

Bought a can of Mercury Black at dealership. You would think that black is black, but I had touched up the 225 cowling with rust o leum gloss black and had to get the Mercury brand to make it match.
