Paint drive on inboard Volvo

Essentially you will be required to use products which are in fact suitable to be immersed for extended periods of time, but you will also have pretty strict overcoating windows as well which will help to ensure that you achieve and maintain sound adhesion for each of the products. Based off the information which you have provided so far, it sounds as if you are looking to achieve a finish which would be quite similar to the factory finish. If this were the case, I am sorry to say, but we do not have the products or a system in which you can follow to achieve a finish which will resemble the factory finish.

 

However, if you are looking to simply paint the drive for cosmetic appearances or if you are looking to achieve antifouling protection as well and wouldn't be too concerned with the overall appearance of the coating itself (flat - no gloss and a slight bit rougher) then I would recommend that you use Primocon Aerosol as the primer and Trilux 33 Aerosol as the antifouling paint.

 

The recommended system for you to use, will be as follows:

1. Degrease the surface with Special Thinner 216

2. Sand the surface with 80 grit paper

3. Remove all sanding residue with a brush/vacuum/clean air line

4. Immediately (within 1 hour of sanding) apply 1 coat of Primocon Aerosol

5. Apply a 2nd coat of Primocon Aerosol

6. Apply 2 coats of Trilux 33 Aerosol

 

Hope this helps!
