If your prop has picked up scratches, dings, or worn patches from normal use, this is the correct touch-up paint to restore the appearance to factory spec without repainting the entire propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe satin black finish matches the EDP (electro-deposition paint) coating applied to Mercury and Quicksilver black aluminum propellers at the factory. EDP is a corrosion-resistant base coating that bonds directly to the aluminum surface before the topcoat is applied. When the topcoat is scratched through to bare aluminum, the exposed metal is vulnerable to corrosion from saltwater and galvanic activity. Touching up scratches promptly with the correct paint keeps the protective coating intact and the propeller looking clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface preparation matters before applying this paint. Light sanding of the damaged area to remove loose paint and smooth the edges of the scratch, followed by cleaning with a wax-free solvent, gives the new paint the best surface to bond to. A primer coat may be needed on bare aluminum areas before applying the finish color, particularly on deeper scratches or chips that have exposed raw metal. Light coats with adequate dry time between applications produce a better result than a single heavy coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis paint is intended for aluminum propellers with the black factory finish. It is not formulated for stainless steel propellers or propellers with a different factory color. Verify your propeller's finish color and material before ordering to ensure this is the correct match for your application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 802878Q50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 745061039858\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54407911932209,"sku":"MRC-802878Q50","price":10.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/mercury-edp-propeller-black-paint-802878q50-745061039858-1241139061.jpg?v=1780432112","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/mercury-edp-propeller-black-paint-802878q50","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
