OK, we've all seen the ads for the old sporty runabouts. The engine cowl and boat color matched looking very stylish, usually Merc I think. I am wondering how this was done. Did the boat manufacturer get primed or pre colored cowls or did they just take liberties with the new engines? I am working on some 'old' projects that would really be nice if I could bust a color on the cowl.
