Geeeezz !! I just can’t win ... The first can of outboard paint was a different color and labeled wrong . Just noticed there was an Evinrude label over a Johnson SeaHorse label on the one can and that was the first one I grabbed .. Had the pieces in different areas so I never noticed the difference until I started putting it back together ..

I guess the clear would have to come off whatever I repaint ...

wow thats looking great Sam!......No u dont have to remove the clear, just scuff it up with fine paper.....clear coat is basically paint without the pigment.

What Mr Zool said, just make sure you have it all roughed up so it can get a mechanical bond, just like glassing.

Under evacuation in the morning so we are packing the camper grabbing the dogs and heading west . We have reservations at a camp ground far enough west to get out of the major winds .. Hurricanes kinda suck ....

Good thing you have the MH Sam, finding lodging with dogs is tough I bet, especially in a storm....Stay safe

Thanks Arch , we are all fine and back home. No damage that I have found just some really high tides ..
Some areas with lost power . The whole Florida coast really dodged a bullet on this one thankfully .
The Bahamas is a much different story ..
