Engine paint job.

Post by AussieMike »

My outboard is looking very scruffy - can anyone suggest the type of paint most suitable for a spray i.e. would commercial auto spray paint from Halfords do the trick?

Thanks - Mike

There's a recent thread on the forum somewhere about painting outboards...or has it dropped into a cyberspace black hole, mind you I've been stuffed with Christmas goodies in the last few days so could well be wrong!

Ha ha - just searched that and it came back with your reply to this thread - I know how you feel with the Xmas goodies thing, I can't look at food and I reckon I need a bigger boat now.
Thanks anyway, I'm going back to the sofa to do nothing.
