My 1996 Johnson 40hp was looking a little tired, so I decided to try to paint it and spiffy it up a bit.
I cleaned it real good with a de-greaser than sanded with 400 sand paper. A few rough spots I used 150 grit followed with 400. Then a final wash, rinse and dry in the sun for a couple hours. I used my air compressor to blow water out of any small collection areas. Taped off around engine mount, a couple drop clothes and started priming. I used Rustoleum 2X gray primer. I've had good luck with it and easy to apply. We'll see how it holds up.

I'll let it dry in the sun for a couple days and then spray a gloss black. I figure it can't look any worse than it did. I'll report back with pictures of the black and how it holds up this winter in Florida.

If you click on the right side of each picture, it should advance to next.
My $20 paint job :-)
