    The pics of the motors are gorgeous!

    I’m wondering how many rattle cans of the Vintage Outboard’s paint it typically takes to restore a motor.

    They’re only 12oz cans, so I’m guessing it doesn’t go far. I don’t have the budget right now to spend hundreds on a paint job.

    I saw on YouTube that T-Mike uses Rustoleum burgundy and almond on his Johnson restorations.

    Have any of you tried Rustoleum or seen a paint job in person?
