Oh well the hot days of summer are over, I am back working on this engine.
I have since fill in the holes the previous owner drilled on the lower unit, I filled it with JB weld and sanded it down, zinc applied and this weekend is painting time.
I will have the entire MID & LU painted and fully assembled by next weekend. It was way to hot for me to work on this engine in the summer, the excuse is now over back to work.
Holes shown


JB WELD neatly applied :)
Nice new camera to snap pictures to boot ...



Little sanding and re shoot looks awesome

Oh well technical difficulties, the bloody paint refuses to dry, hopefully it cures in a couple of days. I may have laid it on too thick?
I could have sworn I did it correctly per instructions, low humidity nice 80 plus degrees..Who knows technical support promise me it will cure over a couple of days...
Sure self levels as promise ...

Looks like a new one to me. I need to get to the Merc and do the same thing. My cowl needs help. Last time it was painted by previous owner they painted over the decals. They painted over the barnacles on the mid and lower too. No sanding, no filler, no joke a really crappy job. But they purchased the really expensive automotive paint, I just don't get why they didn't spend an hour to prep it right. Keep up the good work NYMACK.

Thanks for the kind words Ridge, Its Official my rookie mistake cost me time and money. I have all the parts back into the media blasting shop. This paint turns out to be a lot of bologna after all. I am mad at myself for NOT painting one part first and test, with that said, who ever dream a paint will NOT dry?
