    Outdrive Paint & Prep

    I spoke with paint guy and he advise to only go with the 2k rattle clear. He did mix up my paint rattle can as well, from a sample. Bell housing and trim rams are done. Its not work of art but as long as its protected i am good with it. Moving on to the outdrive and the transom shield.
