Hi all im putting together a electric outboard i am considering painting the K&B lower unit black to match the MRP plastic motor cowling . #1 ? is painting this lower unit a bad idea ? What sort of prepping is required to properly do this job ? What primer and paint should i be using? I don't want the paint to scratch going through a weed patch or hitting a floating twig or the paint to bubble. Regards Andris Golts.
