Took boat to a yard (that is a Honda dealer) recently for bottom paint and an oil change (while I was there...). They made a mistake and ended up bottom-painting both my lower units. They are apologetic and are offering for me to bring it back in and have them restore the Honda paint.
Presumably this would entail sanding off the bottom paint and then rattle-can of the Honda paint and topcoat. I am skeptical however that this would end up as durable as the original paint and may not last. My bottom paint so far has been pretty bomb-proof as motors spend 99% of their life tilted-up out of the water.
Anyone have thoughts on how to achieve a comparable factory-finish - would the units needs to be stripped-down to the shell and paint baked on in an auto-shop?
