Re: Mercury aluminum prop

[20mercman]

I have had some props that refuse to hold on to paint, and others that I have painted and the have many miles on them and no issues. I think that the ones I have that are resistant are ones that had spent a lot of time with no paint on it, and they absorbed oil into the metal. The hubs are one section that I have on 1 prop that sheds paint like a wet dog.

P.S. I paint some of mine gold like you did on that KF-7 prop. This color seems to have better tooth than my cloud white on my Mercury’s.
