I'm preparing outdrive for painting and noticed that bearing carrier is originally not painted.
Since the drive was media blasted, I believe whatever protective coat it had is gone.
Is there any reason not to paint it together with the drive?
Regarding painting process, idea is following. 1. fill small pitts with marine jb.
2. sand everything smooth with p220 sandpaper
3. preKote treatment (supposed to be non toxic replacement for alumaprep33 and alodine)
4. zinc chromate primer 2 light coats.
5. phantom black 3-4 light coats.
