Where to Paint Mercury Racing Lowers
I bought a boat that came with low hour 2023 Mercury Racing 300R outboards that have a lot of paint coming off on the lowers. I know this is a common problem. I'm in Port Charlotte, FL and having trouble even finding a Mercury dealer that wants to handle the warranty work. I've spoken with 3 so far. One dealer told me that Mercury is now telling him to sand them and hit them with a rattle can. That's complete B.S. for how much these engines cost! Does anyone know of a good paint shop that can do a lasting paint job somewhere between Tampa and Ft. Myers? I may just have to pay for it myself.

I've done quite a few of them with great results (not peeling). I was operations manager at a Mercury dealer in Bradenton Beach until the hurricanes shut us down.
I do mobile. Call if you like to discuss. Bill Bradenton Beach Marine Service 941-681-1870 [email protected] |

Several years back, I had my lowers painted in a body shop with a super hard epoxy gloss black. And then a few layers of clear.
They looked fantastic for years. You might opt for another color that doesn’t show flaws like black, and is easier to touch up. |
