ok need some advice prior to rattle can the outboard.
ok already got x2 cans moeller etching primer yellow says its good for above or below water line
will fully cover the outboard with a light prime , the metal has been sanded down degreased , and used acetone cloth to clean again, just prior to paint primer will do another acetone wipe, then a tack cloth wipe.
now the questions are the best steps to doing this?
do i let each coat of primer fully dry cure before applying another coat ?
also for the base color coat let primer fully cure before applying base coat color? , and do i need to lightly sand between coats guess not as the etch primer is a tack bond, or do i apply the base coat color when primer is tacky to get a good bond?
finally can u use automotive base coat color over the primer? and clear coat? whats the best to use? i want a gloss white and lower unit race orange maybe.
