I attempted to paint myself last spring but could never get it right. Now looking for an expert (not me) to complete the job..I have decals to be applied as well...I brought it to a body shop and they said they do not paint with marine grade and any other auto type paint would not hold up to the elements. Any ideas???? Jimmy

It is hard to do those particular cowls. I usually do the spray can method with good results. Try to get the paint code and a paint n body shop would be your best bet. I used a place in Alabama a while back for Yamaha cowls and they did great. I had to get the paint code for them though.

| I found Mercury Black on the shelf at Boaters World for $12 ea and believe this would work as to me black is black as long the entire surfaces are painted...I believe this would work in the hands of an appropriate skilled painter. By the way I used some high resistance heat paint from auto supply as this was 1/2 the cost of the Mercury stuff..Don't mind paying more but don't want to throw $$$ away because of my skill level doesn't allow for acceptable results.

The merc paint is excellent. I can paint it with cans if you want. It will look good...... Not as good as if it were done at a paint shop, but I don't think you will be disappointed with it. I do ned to check some info on that cowling first though. Let me know.
