Re: Painting outdrive
If the original paint is not blistered or exfoiliated and jus' dull.....how 'bout jus some rubbing compound?. If ya still want to paint, wash THOROULY with POTENT grease remover, sand litely with 320 wet-dry with the garden hose dribbling on the surfaces till ALL surfaces show scuffing, rinse well, spray with two cans of matching brand of manufacturer spray paint. Of course you can still do the compressor and spray gun thing if ya want. If there are exposed aluminum surfaces, you must remove ALL surface corrosion down to aluminum, acid wash with alumiprep, alodine, zinc chromate, cure for a few days then spray enamel. Self etching primer can be used but it may not hold up as well as the long process.
