[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 110369, member: 2096"] I used rattle can paint for my motor. For the top I removed the decal's and gave it a good sanding. next I washed it down with degreaser inside and out. Cleaned the outside with acetone and sprayed it with sanding primer. Another quick sanding and another spraying of different color primer. Sanding to find the lowspots. Filled them with filler (bond-o). sanded, one more coat of primer final sanding and sprayed with three coats of paint with wetsanding between each. Then I bought the sound deadening foam and decals from evinrude and applied those. For the rest of the motor I used a brass wire brush and lots and lots of degreaser and water and cleaned it up. gave it a sanding to roughen up the paint and washed it a final time with acetone. Then I sprayed it with zinc chromate primer where any metal was exposed. I gave it two coats of paint with no wetsanding. I didn't feel it was worth the work to try and wetsand all the areas on the lower end of the motor so I didn't. I applied the decals for the bottom portion and called it good. Paint and primer was this: https://www.moellermarine.com/aftermarket/marine_paints/engine_paint/ [/QUOTE]
