Outdrive Painting - What To Use
Looking for input based on experience as to the best products and procedures to paint my mercruiser outdrive while on the boat. It's not in bad sha[pe but does have a few spots where the bare metal is showing. I don't have a paint sprayer so I'll need to use a spray can or brush. Here are my questions:
1. Sanding - what is the appropriate (finest) grit that should be used?
2. Fillers - is JB Kwik Filler OK for taking care of pitting?
3. Cleaners - what should be used after sanding to clean the surface?
4. Primers - what is the best self etching brand of primer?
5. Finish Coat - any suggestions ???
Have heard Rustoleum High Performance paint or Valspar Tactor & Implement Paint with the addition of an enamel hardener might be possibilities? Any recommendations based on personal experience would be appreciated. Thanks
Dennis
