I am afraid to say, that you spray paint idea may be the best solution. In Salcombe, some owners are deliberately cosmetically trashing their outboards - makes them harder to sell, but they run just as well!

Works on bikes too. I've had a couple bolt-cropped and wheeled away. Pained me to paint a lovely new bike with lumpy black Hammerite, but at least I've still got it - and it's unlikely to rust either!
