How to Refinish Your Stern Drive with Mercury Paints | PowerBoat Television MyBoat DIY

Terrific video and I have a quick question. I would opt for Bridgeport doing this for me, but where are they located?

[@spinedoc893]

I've done this twice exactly as shown here and it looks great for a little while but if you leave it in the water it always turns grey by the end of the season

No zinc phosphate primer?

[@jpete3027666]

Yeah I was told by my local marine shop that it’s needed because regular primer won’t work with aluminum.

On such a painting after 60 days as if all sorts of algae stick to a magnet and reptiles stick.

[@timcarroll7505]

Zink phosphate primer followed with two part automotive single stage urethane. Spray bomb enamel is a waste of time. Zink chromate was the primer of choice back in the day but with the discovery of cancer causing hexivalient chromium its impossible to get now.

Dont agree. That needs to be baked. The paint will fall off while in the water. It looks nice but show us the stern once its been 2 or 3 times in the water.
