I am repainting my inline Mercury and wanted to know what you guys have been using for paint and primer on your projects. Are you just using black or is there a specific paint code for the correct black. Please let me know.

Ditzler Urethane DU9000 for Mercury Black. Catalyze with Ditzler DU5
catalyst mixed 1:1 ratio. Reduce with solvents per Ditzler label. :)

I use a can of Tempo zinc chromate primer and follow it with Mercury Phantom Black paint also in a spray can. For extra protection and shine use Mercury's clear coat. Since there are no large areas spray cans will do well, as an alternative to automotive paint.
