Like to paint the cowling on my 1987 Mercury outboard. Its the two part split cowling. (Not the exact one as the attached image. I didn't have one of mine but pic shows what I am asking about.) My question is about the black leather like rough area. Not sure what that is exactly made of and how to deal with it for painting. Does it peel off or need to be scraped off ? Or Just prime and paint over it. ? All the videos I seen redoing the cowlings are mostly Yamaha's and they just have decals. Thanks.
