Re: Black Mercury Outboard Paint

[Pete]

I use these rattle cans, dries hard and durable with great spray pattern nozzle; some colors available in gloss, semi gloss and flat. I use the gloss black on the Merc gas doesn’t bother it (I use E free fuel) and flat black on the hydro water contact area and wet sand with 400 grit – really tuff stuff and stays put at high speeds. Most colors available at Home Depot and Lowe’s for $5.50 a 15 oz can, some colors 14 oz can. Other colors available as listed. Lasts for years on the shelf just clean the nozzle after use.

If not using their primer test on your primer or base coat for top coat compatibility.

Have used costlier Merc phantom black but the Rustoleum has proven great for my uses at less than 1/2 the cost.
