I've got a whole bunch of Mercury outboard parts that I need to paint. I got some zinc chromate primer from Moeller, and the can says "recoat within 1 hour or after 48 hours". Is that just additional coats of primer or does that include the paint? Do I have to wait 48 hours before the final coat?
Also, my can of Mercury Phantom black says to use "Mercury light grey primer". Mercury doesn't even sell zinc chromate. Is there any reason the Mercury primer would be better? Didn't my 70s Mercury parts come from the factory with zinc primer? (I can see the green coming through)
