Any suggestions on painting an outboard - exterior - not the inside. And where is the best place to get outboard engine paints...

Thanks!

J,
I painted just the skeg and part of the LU that wont tilt out of the water.

I used the interlux micron outboard paint (spray can), but first I primed with the interlux grey primer (also spray can).
So far zero growth.

Got the products at Mony's, West had them too.

Van,

Would you use the same paint on the engine cover?

No, its a growth resistant paint.
There are other products for the above water stuff.

I think the manufacture sells that paint....at least they use to.

don't forget the clear coat on top of paint.
