Hey Guys, I was thinking of doing some touch up painting of my outdrive (Volvo Penta DP) and was wondering a few things! I have done some car body work and touch up painting but was looking for advice on what type of paint (spray can from dealer or something else) and other steps involved for an under water application like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is a couple of pictures of my outdrive, maybe its beyond touch up and I should just pull it and get in professionally done!
Opinions?
Thanks!!

I have been researching repainting my Bravo 3 over the winter and read this article on another forum. It sounds like surface prep is the key on painting aluminum. I have already got the surface prep chemicals from Aircraft Spruce, as well as I am going to use Primacon primer before painting and clear coating. We'll see how this works.
