Hello, John Talley here with boats.net. Today well we need to go ahead and get some paint on
our Mercury Tracker 40 project. As you can tell, we pretty much built this engine up from scratch
and now it's time to go ahead and get some primer and some paint on the project. So if
you're ready, I'll get out the blue tape and we'll knock this little project out.
All right guys, there's no real magic to this. We're just going to be using blue tape
to tape off any of the intake or the bottom section... anything that's
going to be let paint get inside of the engine. We don't want that to happen.
So take your time, make sure you get all those covered up,
then we'll move it over to the stand get some primer sprayed and then put the finish coat on it.
This um...
All right guys, we got everything taped off, all the different threads-- they've
been plugged. So let's go we can get a coat of primer down on it.
All right guys, I'm pretty happy with that. I mean that primer
really does a great job of covering it, so one thorough coat I believe took care of it.
We're gonna let this dry overnight, then tomorrow we'll go ahead and lay down that phantom black.
All right guys, welcome back. It's been a little a little under 24 hours. I can tell you this stuff
is pretty impressive. It's all dried, so let's get our black phantom paint and lay down a coat,
let it set for about two to three hours, then we'll put on our final coat.
All right guys, that is a rather thick first coat. We may even be able to call it quits
with that one, but we're gonna let it dry for a couple of hours, go over it one more time,
and then let it set for 24. Then we'll actually be through. So back in a bit. All right guys,
it's been a few hours, and I have to tell you i'm really impressed with this paint. I am going
to go ahead and throw down one more light coat and then call it a day. So let's get that done.
All right guys, that's going to wrap up this video. I'm going to let it dry for about 24 hours,
and in the next video we're going to address getting everything remounted to it and then
reattach it to the lower unit. Now if you'd like to see that happen, why don't you go ahead and
