Outboard Cowling refurbish - how hard is it ?

[giddyup58]

Hi All,

Yea, me again, YAY !!

Ok, its been almost a year, no issues, then this .............

I dont really care about the cracking, but WTF is the bubbling ??

I will definitely not be painting it again, I don't have the set up needed, Ill hand it to the professionals !

But what's going on here ?

I have a new red decal set for a 2 stroke 90hp Merc that I can pass on for the right price...

This style, but brand new.

It had red originally, I changed it to blue to match the boat.

The ones I got are $110 on the net and look great, I ordered a few and found quality varies greatly. I sold the extras for cost price locally in Perth.

I have a kit ordered which Ill keep aside for the future, but I think im going to leave it for now, its not too bad.

I just recently did mine and was surprised on how easy and how good it came up! It pays to be fussy with the sanding etc prior to painting to get a good result. I just need to now order sticker kit. E-bay for sticker kits? Do you know which supplier you used?

This one is good, for the front bit, buy the badge from a mercury dealer, makes a big difference to the quality

Yeah, because I screwed up the first go, the whole job fell apart and became a shit show. It cost me more in materials than if I had have paid someone to do it for me.

Never again !

...which happens every time I pick up a spray can.
