1999 115hp Johnny paint

[Dunaruna]

I am posting this on behalf of a member who cannot log onto iboats, it's the old broadband aussie gremlins again (does anybody know what is causing this?).<br /><br />His message is as follows - <br /><br />'99 Johnson 115hp BJ115PLEE serial# 4719349.<br />I want to repaint my outboard. Johnson dealer tell me the paint colors are platinum/black/clear. They want $28 for a 340gram spray can. Way too expensive, I'd like to buy the paint from a paint shop and spray it myself.<br /><br />What type of paint is it?<br />Where does the black and platinum go? (anyone got a pic?)<br />Has anyone done this paint scheme and what did you use etc?<br />Any advise appreciated.<br /><br />Phil (kiwiphil).

Phil,<br /> Ive prepped Al. Boats at the factory and restored motors both at home and for work.I always try to use the epoxy primers for a good base coat,topped by 2-part automotive paint.<br /> Bare Alum. does need to be etched to make anything really stick to it.<br />The rattle can product wont cure as hard as the car stuff and you cant add accelerator to make it dry faster to keep the dust off.<br /> A light mist of primer is usually better than a thick coating that wont fully dry.Prep with alcohol or a good solvant BEFORE any sanding is done so you dont contaminate the surface.Sand with 220 grit before your topcoats to keep it smooth,wetpaper will work nice.<br /> Tim Mattson <br /> Sorensen Marine
