[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 488251, member: 13975"] I found a few to choose from on Ebay. Thanks. I think prior to tackling a cowling, I'm going to repaint a lower unit. It's going to take a good bit with the wire wheel to get it cleaned up good as it has some black hardened stuff of it. So it will probably be down to the metal in some places. Is standard self etching primer the way to go here, just as if I was painting a bare aluminum hull? Was thinking one coat of self etching primer, then a coat or two of a regular filler primer. Then wet sand it and put on a couple of coats of primer. [/QUOTE]
