Re: Paint for Merc SSM drives
I added some nose-cones to bravos a couple of yrs ago and painted them with acrylic-enamel with no prep at all. They looked like new and never had any peeling or fading even down onthe skag. I know nothing about painting and put very little effort into it.But it looked great.

Makes me want to forget about looking for a Cafe and take it off your hands.
I repainted my lowers last yr. Sandblasted down to bare aluminum since I was welding on new skegs. Used the Merc procedure above, but substituted with PPG Concept Acrylic Urethane paint instead of the enamal, since several here including the paint supply shop said the Acrylic Urethane is stronger. Still looks like the day I shot them.
BTW, the Merc pt #'s in the above linked thread are PPG products.

An '84 all original 20k mile Vette.
LS, afraid the slip limitations is what is making a 35 the most allowed. And that's only because we didn't ask for permission. 30' is 'supposed' to be the max on our dock, without moving to longer dock. A 38 would be to obvious.
No luck yet, but haven't listed it other than here. Waiting for a couple more months to get serious about it, or keep it. Kinda on the edge anyways.
