Lower unit touch up

[Steve Heim]

Thought I would share a few pictures of my lower I shot over the weekend. I'll have to post a couple pictures at a time. Sorry.... It wont let me post more than 2 due to file size. First two pictures are when i started sanding. The next three are in primer and the last three are finish product.

@Steve Heim Beautiful job! 

Glad to see it came out so nice  Thanks for sharing.

[Steve Heim]

Thanks... I can't believe it came out as good as it did. I am the worlds worst painter on anything I  have ever tried to paint. I took my time and let it dry very good between coats. Lots of prep work. 

[Steve Heim]

Sorry... Here is the primer and paint I used. I think I've got about 15 bucks in this from start to finish. It's not a fancy powder coat job but will work for me.

The time you took paid off bigly, with a nice-looking finished job 

And thanks for showing us what you used, too. That's always helpful

Do you happen to have the color name of the finish paint?

[Steve Heim]

Yes. It's just good old gloss black enamel automotive paint. I could have bought the kit from Yamaha that would match up the same as factory but I believe it was around 100 bucks. You can't tell the difference unless you know what the factory color is suppose to be. I honestly have around 15 bucks total in it start to finish. That's sandpaper primer paint and a tack cloth. My friend that owns Bart's Marine Service here in Louisville gave me good advice and direction on what primer and paint to buy. I'm by far NOT a painter of any kind. But I took my time and followed his advice and it came out great.

@Steve Heim It was definitely worth your time and effort 

And thanks for the info on the paint.
