anyone got any pics of an all black motor? considering doing this and would like to see some pics first.

I have done a couple and I think they look pretty good. In the brackish marsh that most of my customers run in, painting the block is almost a must.

And sorry, but this is the only boat I could find decent pics of an all black motor. A blacked out motor looks much better on a camo boat.

Sweet lookin flats boat....


What kind of paint would you use on the motor block and aluminum parts ???

On the block I use a high temp (flat black) paint from rustoleum. And over the top of that I spray an anti corrosion sealant from Zep, called Restore.

If the block is already badly corroded, I knock off as much corrosion with a wire brush as possible, spray the block with Restore to neutrailze what ever corrosion is left, then paint it.

thanks for the pics, it looks good. Couple of questions for ya...can you paint over the oil cooler or do you need to leave that alone? Also do you use the rustoleum for the entire motor or just the block? Any recommendations on painting the plastic, mine is a little faded.
thanks

I usually strip everything off the outside of the motor and paint the block only. I also paint the flywheel too, but that's all.

As far as the oil cooler, paint shouldnt hurt it. Most all of the companies that camo paint motors, paint the entire outside of the motor. But I havent found anything that sticks to the plastic covers very well (espically if you pressure wash the motor regularly), other than having them dipped.

There is a product called bull dog adhesion promoter this is great made for plastics clean with dish soap let dry spray bull dog dust it then let dry about 5 min then paint

And I drive a pd and approve this message

Must say, that's one of the coolest looking fishing boats i've ever seen, would definitely like to see more pics of it. Blacked out motor is a good idear too.
