I painted my engine about a year ago, but the lower unit paint fell off. Is there a special paint to apply before you do a 2 part paint? I want to make sure this new paint is gonna hold up...
Zinc Chromate is usually greenish. You only need a light dusting of the stuff and really only on the bare aluminum. I kinda disagree with my esteemed colleague GT100000 above on the stripping it down to bare aluminum. I'd just sand it thoroughly and feather out any chipped spots (unless the existing paint job is a total mess with cracking and peeling). I was able to find zinc chromate by Duplicolor at Pep-Boys pretty reasonably in a rattle can.
