Re: Painting Lower Unit.
 

One other suggestion, if you haven't planned on it yet; use a good grease & wax remover just before you paint. Get lots of clean rags and wipe it all down to get rid of anything left from the cleaning/sanding process. My outdrive is pretty nasty looking. I may takcle this one after my wiring job. Good luck.

AZ has some good stuff called metal prep for just that!!
