I figured I would post some before and after pics of my motor. I know we all like pics. She is an 85' 140 hp Evinrude. It treated me so good last year I figured I would give it a little spruce up. The color is the original. I sprayed 1 coat of zinc primer, 1 coat of multi purpose epoxy and 2-3 coats of the OMC topcoat. There was more prep to be done on it than I figured there was, that antifouling stuff on the lower unit was the worst.

Man Great job you might think about doing this for a living.
 
Chessie,
I tell ya..........I'm having second thoughts about putting color on the hull. I'm still up in the air, yellow or white. I hope I'm forced into a decission in a couple of weeks when it's ready to paint (trying to think positve).

Thanks all,
Scott
 
Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me no if it stands up!! I painted my engine cover and the paint didn't last :(
I have never much luck with paint??
 
I masked off the old stickers, sometimes you just have to draw the line. I hope this top coat holds up o.k.. I know the epoxy will last a long time.
