Re: Repaint Motor

I used Moeller on my outboard and I used the same paint on the cowl that I used on my boat and put it on via the roll and tip method. I ordered new graphics from my local screen printer. I sprayed my prop with the Mercury Phantom Black.

Before,

After,

Nice.

Re: Repaint Motor

rinker....

Do you want to do this unit one time..and one time ONLY ? ( with caviats of cource..)

There IS the RIGHT way ( not fusion or rusto m8 ).

But FIRST that cow should be a different paint then the lower. ...

What is your motor application ? in the drink full for season..or are you pulling it ?

If your full drink then you might want to look at Trilux apps..

Your Cow.. there is the top notch IMron or Awlgrip. .. .. or low ball rattle it..

The time and money will cost you now.... or later... IMO...

YD.

PS. I will tell you Id rather prep and prime a 40' than a chippedoutwheatherdflakingpeaceofdrivefromhellwithtwocoatingsofcrapaintthatIhavetowarrantydrive ... :)

I may full drink it next year.

Re: Repaint Motor

Moeller and Tempo are both rattle cans but here again ...... they work fine ONLY if you properly prime. Trying to use them over painted surfaces is near worthless........ they adhere to chromate primers and themselves on the second coat.

Ther effectiveness is no better then Fusion paint or Rustoleum.....but some people are hung up on the color match ability

Proper prep and priming has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the paint does not cover and is more like painting candy then painting something white.

I used their primer so that's not it.:rolleyes:

It is a completely different type of paint then Rustoleum and works completely different. Rustoleum is way more effective and beyond that the color match of Moeller is wrong for my motor (so don't do it for that reason).

This is why I posted to avoid it (covered multiple times on this here forum before by many posters, all of which agree)

Re: Repaint Motor

I can't take it anymore......it's COWL! Now that that's out of the way, did you use Rusto's "Mettallics" paint? I used that on the top deck of my last boat. I had a heck of a time trying to get it gloss up. Kept coming out dull. I ended up clearing it.
