Glad you think so! Thanks for the kinds words!

Once again an excellent video. Nice job. It inspires me. I have a 2002 25 hp Yamaha 4 stroke that is faded badly from the sun because a teenager owned the boat before I bought it. I'm definitely going to sand and paint and decal it now.

Super video on how to get a superb result with cans including all the safety you need plus as is obvious preparation and planning gives the best results. I imagine this could applied to other parts on a boat and would work well for Motorcycle Fairings or Side panels etc. Preparation is key..

I got more out of this cowling paint video than the two main others. You explained everything perfectly and didn't over sand, paint, etc. I've read about it there jobs getting the orange peel on the clear coat - it appears the 2k you use and over lap tech keep that to a minimum...Thanks!

Would clear coating over the stickers help in the longterm?

I know it’s an older video but just wanted to say thank you!! Just finished mine and followed all of your directions. Came out pretty! Just wish the yamalube paint had a wider spray pattern. Not matter what I did I couldn’t make the lines totally disappear. Even after 3 coats of paint. Thanks again!!

Are there any issues using 2K which is an acrylic with the Yamalube enamel based paint?

I just purchased a BW. 1985 S.S. 15. The 70 horse cowling and lower unit need tlc. Having watched this video I’m going to redo the cowling,but have you ever repainted the lower unit?

Great video man! What is that squeegee called that you used to press the water out from under the sticker and where did you get it? Also, what is the mix ratio for the soapy water? Thanks.

The squeegee came with the stickers. No set ratio, just a light squeeze and fill up with water!

Any tips for painting the aluminum lower part of a yamaha? I have a small bit of corrosion bubbling underneath the paint on the seams

@ExtremeDIYGuy

Use a similar technique as you would on the cowling, but I would fix the corrosion first.

thanks for posting. question, i am in the process of refinishing my yam f150. I am getting dust from over spray landing on the top painted surface. i am thinking need to wet sand that before additional coat. How did you deal with that?

@ExtremeDIYGuy

8 ай бұрын

First I would figure out why you are getting overspray, I didn't have to deal with that. But if you have overspray, you will have to sand it down between coats, I would go with the finest grit possible that will do the job without damaging the underlying coat.

I let my base color dry for 3 days. Would I need to wet sand before applying the 2k clear since I waited so long?

@ExtremeDIYGuy

Жыл бұрын

Sticky question, If it were me, I would put another coat of the base color on after a light sanding and then put the 2k on over that. I'm pretty sure if you put 2k on over cured paint that it will craze.

Followed your video with my 90 2 stroke yam and after sanding and wiping it down I went to the primer and the cowling won't take paint in 4 or 5 spots. Any ideas? Its sanded down to the fiberglass in those spots too and the paint just dissipates after spraying and its white behind it.

@ExtremeDIYGuy

I would try a different primer. Perhaps a specialty primer that is made for or compatible with fiberglass.

What’s the difference between the 04D and 08D paint because I have the 04D paint and I’m not sure if I should use it. I have the same engine as you.

I'll be honest, that confused me as well and I honestly cant remember which was for what. I would try 04d on a test piece and see if it works. I think they are similar enough in appearance that no one would really be able to tell the difference.

To figure out what color your motor is, look at the part number for a part like the bottom cowling. It will end in 4D or 8D for the correct color.

Badger hair brush if you can get it, Jamestown distributers have a good selection. If your rolling Interlux perfection, you can thin it to 12-15% and roll it with a foam roller without tipping, it will settle into a nice glossy finish,
