Paint for Strut and Rudder

The Dog House · Post by **The Dog House** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 6:21 pm

What paint would be recommended for the strut and rudder of a 1971 F26? Both the strut and rudder are made out of bronze. The spray paint at the local marine dealer was for aluminum only (they deal in outboards and sterndrives). I'd prefer spray paint, preferably with anti-fouling properties but I can live without that. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks, Jeff. I checked out that thread, but didn't see anything about spray paint with anti-fouling properties. I'll check it again to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Thanks. I didn't realize from the other thread that the Zincoat was a spray.

I used the Zincoat last year and it worked great! Will keep using it until they come out with something better!
