Painting saltwater trolling motor
Has anyone on here done this? Don’t have a use for it in any saltwater areas in southwest Arkansas but I found this trolling motor for a good deal and couldn’t pass it up. The white doesn’t fit with the boat that it’s going on so I’m looking for any advice on what paint to use if anyone has any experience with this.

Re: Painting saltwater trolling motor
I would probably use the valspar from Lowe’s for interior walls. Get the one that crayon comes off of easily. Eggshell finish.

Re: Painting saltwater trolling motor
I just used Krylon. Needs to be touched up quiet often but it works

Re: Painting saltwater trolling motor
A heat gun and some vinyl wrap wouldn’t be a bad option

Re: Painting saltwater trolling motor
Been hearing a lot about folks using the vinyl. Is it fairly easy to put on?

Re: Painting saltwater trolling motor
Is there a certain type of vinyl I should buy to withstand the outdoors? Not sure if they have different grades of it or not, this will be a first time for me.
