I'm impressed! Question for you though about the formula regarding quantity. Adding up the amounts in the formula, you'll get 10ml of paint to use, am I correct? I know I'm not well versed in the Metric system, but isn't 10ml not that much? In any case, it produces an awesome finish, and I thank you for posting about it.

On a side note, my wife is from England, and sometimes words she or I use get lost in translation from American to English, and vice verse. I think the row (a British English word I learned from my wide) about kfa4303's initial post was simply a matter of translation or geographic interpretation; here, the phrase 'evil genius' conjures up images of a scientist mixing stuff in his laboratory, similar to a 'mad scientist'. kfa was being complimentary towards you in his comments. Keep in mind, he had no idea (how could he) that the word evil is offensive to you. I'm sure now that he knows, he would never use that word in a post referring to you. I also took his comment about the Halloween theme to be complimentary. I (and I think he) thinks the motor looks cool and unique!

Again, thanks for this thread, and I look forward to seeing more from you. ;)

"Evil genius" apparently translates to something different in Oz. It is not meant as something malicious over here. The "evil genius" is the guy in comic books that creates all sorts of contraptions to foil Superman.
You have created gel-coat.

what i do if i want to mix more volume do the following to the formula:
6ml x2 makes 12ml resin
1.5 x2 = 3ml hardener
2ml deltron paint x2 = 4ml

as you multiply with any number the volume becomes more in the end
i hope this makes scene

if you want the end product to become more flex-able you can add more paint , but then it doesn't go rock hard , its up to you .play around with it , to suite your application . the owner of the fiberglass shop is very impressed with what i showed him , he knows there that it is a good product , its his job he is a specialist when it comes to these sort of products

i painted inside my exhaust box where the exhaust fumes go out , left the motor idling for a couple of hours , cause iam doing tests on my radiator conversion , then i opened the exhaust box after about 2hrs , and found it all good inside the box where i painted , so far so good

I'm sorry Durban. I didn't mean to offend your faith, or sensibilities. Divided by a common language, I suppose. I'm glad the paint is holding up.

Re: Durbans epoxy paint formula ,paint on almost anything 100% water proof & petrol p

Excellent, so the formula would be:


3 parts resin
.75 part hardener
1 part deltron paint​

Durban,

Have you sprayed this mixture or only applied with a brush?

If sprayed, can you share your experience?

Re: Durbans epoxy paint formula ,paint on almost anything 100% water proof & petrol p

no , i have not sprayed before will shortly what i do find is that it thins beautifully with lacquer thinners & drys beautiful leaving a perfect Finnish , that told me that it can be applied with a spray gun , when i painted by hand , i found the thinners evaporates & did not interfere with the finished job , i would say yes ,

Hi durban
when you paint things like the block ,around and inside the exhaust ports etc, does this raise engine temp at all ?

Its seems like a good idea to me , as im sure this must also help stop corrosion and salt build up.
nice painted smoth finnish is easier to rinse off !!!!!
And with your other mods,it all makes great sense to do this to outboards.

Fantastic work.
keep us all informed of anything you do on the engines,everyone here im sure is like me and could read your posts forever.
This forum is great for people like us to see others like yourself who have a great wealth of engineering, and can help us all
improve our own engines.

I know that this has been dredged up, but I missed first time around. Don't we have a UV concern? I don't know enough to answer, just ask. Is there enough paint in the mix to eliminate the Epoxy/UV concern?

Re: Durbans epoxy paint formula ,paint on almost anything 100% water proof & petrol p

i was asked by the paint & fibre glass specialist to leave the top cowling cover in the sun for 1 week , after one week i took it back to him & he was impressed , it did not do anything to the paint , now i have not gone as far as to send it to people that specialize in this field as far as uv testing goes , what i find the more paint you mix in the more flexible the paint gets when its dry , iam no specialist in the painting field , but iam happy that it does what i wanted to do , protect the inside of the motor from salt corrosion & leaves a good & hard finish to my motor

these parts where painted over the weekend . the inside of the leg does need a coat to it does corrode in there with the sea water , especially down the bottom end ,use a radiator brush to paint in the leg because its got a long handle this should last a lifetime as its got good protection on now
