Just wondering if anyone has had their kicker motor painted to match the main motor. I have a Yamaha T-8 and would like to get it painted black to match my Mercury. Anyone know of any shops in the Green Bay or Fox Valley area that would do this and ballpark figure what it would cost? I would appreciate any responses. Thanks, Scott

I imagine it would be very expensive, and the end result would probably not meet your expectations.

There are so many little nooks and crannies that could not be prepped correctly to allow proper adhesion of the paint.

Just my opinion.

Scottp,

Here is a picture of my T8 on my 619 I purchased it this way from the previous owner he told me it wasn't cheap if you could see it up close it is awsome very professional.

Darkstar, I think I've seen your motor on a classified or something. That's how I got the idea, it looks nice but I figured it would be pretty costly. I think I can live with the t-8 next to the Merc for now. Too much other fishing stuff to buy. Thanks for the input.
