[QUOTE="USKEW, post: 332642, member: 12974"] I have a '97 Mercury 25 HP outboard that the sun has taken a toll on. I'm not too worried about the shaft or foot...area below the cowl, but would appreciate any advice on the proper way to repaint (myself) the top cowling of the motor. I found a replacement decal kit on Ebay of which I have purchased. What's the best way to remove the old, faded decals? After removal, does the cover need to be sanded? Can the cover just be degreased, washed real well and repainted? I see where Mercury sells an enamal spray paint in phantom black that I thought I might try. I also see where they sell a clear coat in a rattle can. It's not in extremely bad condition now, and I don't want to make it worse. Any tips? Pics are below. Thanks, Kevin.
