Older outboard!!

[silvio]

I have an older outboard for my aluminum boat. I was wondering if buffing it would make it glossy? Or is there a way to paint outboards I have a spray gun? Also were can I possibly to get mercury decals for my outboard the ones on it make it need to go. Thanks allot.

funny that this topic comes up now. I saw an outboard on Sunday that I'm sure some guy had painted himself. Also had some red "mercury" stickers on it. The colour and font wasn't something that I've seen on a merc before. Unfortunately, I don't know the answers to your questions as to where they got the paint/stickers. On the positive side, the older and dumpier your motor looks, the less likely someone is going to "pinch" it.

You can purchase Phantom Black paint from a Mercury dealer or do a search online. I have a spray can that I use for quick touch ups on my I/O as needed. I am sure a dealer will be able to set you in the right direction for decals as well.
