Reply To: Painting a 57 Johnson

[MHarrington]

I am in the middle of completely restoring my 3rd motor a Johnson k50, the first motor I restored I didn’t use clear coat, and I ended up repainting it and clear coating it because the paint didn’t hold up well.  My second motor I clear coated, and it has held up a lot better, the gas spills will still eat through the clear coat I use though if I let it sit/evaporate.
