Yes, Mercury Racing has a refinishing procedure available. For best results we recommend this procedure be performed professionally. Refinishing procedure: This procedure should be used in refinishing MerCruiser sterndrives and transom plates. This procedure will provide the most durable paint system available in the field. The listed materials should be purchased from a local DITZLER AUTOMOTIVE finish supply outlet. The minimum packaged quantity of each material shown is sufficient to refinish several sterndrives and transom assemblies. 1 QT. DX-533 Alumiprep #33 metal preparation 1 QT. DX-503 Alodine #1201 conversion coating 1 QT. DP-40 Non sanding Epoxy Primer zinc chromate primer 1 QT. DP-401 Catalyst for DP-40 1 QT. DAR-9000 Acrylic Enamel-black topcoat 1 Pt.
