Engine upkeep parts and touch-up color

Most of what lives here is engine upkeep: color matched spray paint, flushers, oil change pumps and the odd gasket set or exhaust manifold. Moeller covers the aftermarket colors (Suzuki Shadow Black and Charcoal Metal, OMC Charcoal Metallic 1985 to present, Color Vision gloss white), and Mercury, Yamaha, Johnson Evinrude, Quicksilver and Volvo Penta list their own touch-up cans and pens.

Paint an outboard in order: zinc phosphate primer, color, then clear coat lacquer. Engine color changed by model year on most brands, so read the year range in the variant before ordering a can. Running gear takes different paint entirely, which is what the Pettit Prop Coat Barnacle Barrier aerosol and Interlux Trilux prop and drive paint are for.
