outdrive paint.
Sandblasting is def. ideal. If you use the Zinc-Chromate base, take the proper precautions when it comes to using a breathing apparatus. The stuff is great for creating a protective barrier for your drives, but it will also melt your lungs down. Here is some pics of my last drive project.
The paint is Imron 5000s.

I have my outdrive off and I wanted to paint it since it needs it bad. I wanted to know what people use including techniques and also what kind of success they've had with them. I was doing a little reasearch online and read to sand the outdrive with aluminum oxide sand paper. Is this different than using just normal 120 grit sandpaper to prep? Also what does everyone use an orbital sander? Basically a step by step of what material to use to sand and paint with would be great.
