Yanmar engine paint

[SimbaDog]

Hi, does anyone know where I can get some Yanmar silver engine paint at a sensible price? Would prefer tin as opposed to aerosol, just a few small bits I would like to touch up.

Thats a whole lot of money for paint. Might be worth giving French Marine a call, see what they can suggest. I'd be interested to find out too as there are a few patches I need to rust treat on my engine and paint over...

If Yanmar are anything like volvo, suggest gold plating might be cheaper!

I have used green hammerite with good success on my volvo over the years - would silver hammerite work for you?

Not certain I'd put it on my engine tho...

I used silver hammerite smooth on my 1GM10. Looks fine to me. It also sprayed directly on to Trustan treated rust patches. It's not quite the right shade though, if that matters to you.

Might be OK paint but they don't seem to list Yanmar.

Thanks for replies, strange really that you can't simply buy a little tin of touch up

I've also used hammerite on several engines with great success.

When I had a Bukh I repainted it with Hammerite red, which as far as I could tell was the identical stuff.

Halfrauds steel wheel paint is just about the right shade.
