Quicksilver 8M0152306 is a genuine OEM light gray primer spray paint used as a base coat before Mercury and MerCruiser touch-up paint. Current Mercury/Quicksilver paint references consistently describe the light gray primer as the prep coat used to improve topcoat adhesion and produce a more even finish on engines, cowls, drives, and propellers. The strongest public Mercury reference currently available for this primer family is Quicksilver light gray primer part 802878Q52, which matches the same product type and use pattern.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quicksilver / Mercury Marine primer paint
- Light gray primer designed to improve adhesion before finish-coat paint is applied
- Commonly used before topcoat on engines, cowls, sterndrives, and propellers
- 12 oz aerosol-style spray-can format is the standard current Quicksilver light gray primer offering
Engine Compatibility
This primer is best treated as a surface-prep paint product rather than an engine-specific mechanical part. Current Quicksilver light gray primer references support use on Mercury outboards, MerCruiser sterndrives and inboards, and related painted marine components where a light gray primer is needed under the finish color. Because paint choice can vary by topcoat color and production-era finish, the safest match is by the paint system and application surface rather than by serial number alone.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
For paint products like this, matching by finish system and topcoat color is usually more important than matching by engine serial number alone. Confirm that your repair calls for light gray primer before applying the finish coat.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Primer is used whenever bare metal, repaired paint damage, or stripped surfaces need a proper base coat before the finish color is applied. It is especially useful during corrosion repair, touch-up work, and refinishing of small damaged areas. This usage guidance is based on the current Quicksilver primer product descriptions.
Installation Notes
Prep the surface fully, remove loose paint and corrosion, and follow the dry-time and recoat directions on the can before applying the finish coat. Current Quicksilver primer references specifically point users to follow the can instructions for prep and drying time.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current public Mercury references most clearly surface Quicksilver 802878Q52 as the active light gray primer paint number in this product family. Public search results for 8M0152306 are thinner than for the older light gray primer number, so it is safest to treat 8M0152306 as a Quicksilver light gray primer reference that should be verified against the can label or supplier catalog at time of order.
Parts Desk Insight
With marine touch-up paint, the easy mistake is focusing only on the topcoat color. Using the correct primer underneath usually makes the final finish look better and hold up longer, especially on drives and other painted metal parts exposed to moisture.
