My '83 9.9 Evinrude is in desperate need of a paint job. I don't really want to go with factory paint due to cost and availability. On Leeroy's Ramblings I see he listed a Krylon paint for the white Johnson's but what closest matches the 'Rude? I also plan on doing clear engine paint on top to protect the non automotive/marine paint. Someone painted over the factory stickers too on the cowling with an ugly brown so I'll have to get aftermarket decals probably on ebay. Thanks for looking

You can buy rattle cans at any BRP marine dealer. The cost is a little higher than generic paint at a hardware store but they are large cans and they cover a lot of area. I expect 1 can is all you would need.

Ok, Ill call them. Thank you for the suggestion. Also, does anyone know by chance where I would tap into on these engines for a conventional 2 stroke tach?
