When I first watched this when he said he was gonna paint the wheel cruiser. I thought he was going to scrape off the paint and then painted a different colour but now I know he’s painted it a better color.X
Paint to bare aluminum? First use AlumnaPrep 33 followed by alodine then paint, epoxy paint doesn't prevent corrosion as corrosion from a poorly prepared aluminum surface will bubble up and be sure paint doen't contain copper.
hey mine turned out good and is still in good shape, actually when i get the boat out this season i was going to do a 3 year follow up on the paint job, so look forward to that video
I don't think there would be a problem, the drive is aluminum so as long as the process doesn't cause any side effects with aluminum you should be alright

How did your paint job hold up? Just curious as I am painting mine this weekend. Using AlumnaPrep33 (now Bonderite C-IC 33) followed by Alodine.

If you would have used a sponge brush you would have been good to go
how about vapor blasting? Any good for stern drives?
