Painting outboard prop

[turtle]

I have a approx 10 yr old Honda 15HP outboard that most of the prop paint has worn off and needs repainting. I would think that first it needs to be sanded and de-greased and then painted or primed/painted.

 

Is there any specific marine paint for this or can I just use something like Tremclad? Any suggestions? Thanks.

HEY Turtle . Prep it up with a light sand & degrease it 2 coats of tremclad you should be good to go

did the same with my prop 40 hp merc still looks as good as the day I painted it .

if you want some added protection try 2 or 3 coats of a clear sealer or epoxy .

hope this helps . .

If its aluminum, you'll want to prime it first. Take it down to bare metal, clean it with acetone, prime it with a self etching primer, and have atter with the tremclad.
