Anyone know where to find this paint, other than a Cat Dealer? Our dealer in Stockton is
out, I will call another one in the area, but curious as to other sources.
I paid a gentleman to paint my engines. Two days prepping, one day painting.
He used CAT "Power Module White Paint High Gloss Aerosol 243-5451 paint. 6 cans on two engines.
I know zero about painting boat engines (why do I think about 500 guys are rolling on the floor laughing...
He said he had painted several engines and I said fine. He set a price and we picked a time.
He said after cleaning the engines, sanding, etc. that he did not need a primer. I am disappointed the paint did not cover blemishes, spots, etc. It is like the paint is transparent. He offered to come back to touch those places up.
I thought if I got a few cans, got some suggestions here, I could do it. He said not to use steel wool, get some 400 grain sandpaper, take it down to bare metal, put on a coat of primer, then paint those areas again. It makes me wonder why he didn't do that to begin with.
There is overspray on some rubber hoses? I think acetone would take the paint off, but I am not sure what it would do to the hose. What would you use? The bilge is fiberglas, I could use acetone there couldn't I?
Any suggestions appreciated.
