{"product_id":"merc-1265","title":"Quicksilver Paint Primer 8M0152306","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuicksilver 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 \u003cstrong\u003e802878Q52\u003c\/strong\u003e, which matches the same product type and use pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine OEM \u003cstrong\u003eQuicksilver \/ Mercury Marine\u003c\/strong\u003e primer paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight gray primer designed to improve adhesion before finish-coat paint is applied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommonly used before topcoat on engines, cowls, sterndrives, and propellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 oz aerosol-style spray-can format is the standard current Quicksilver light gray primer offering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEngine Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis primer is best treated as a \u003cstrong\u003esurface-prep paint product\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than an engine-specific mechanical part. Current Quicksilver light gray primer references support use on \u003cstrong\u003eMercury outboards, MerCruiser sterndrives and inboards, and related painted marine components\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor paint products like this, matching by \u003cstrong\u003efinish system and topcoat color\u003c\/strong\u003e is usually more important than matching by engine serial number alone. Confirm that your repair calls for \u003cstrong\u003elight gray primer\u003c\/strong\u003e before applying the finish coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimer 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrep 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent public Mercury references most clearly surface \u003cstrong\u003eQuicksilver 802878Q52\u003c\/strong\u003e as the active light gray primer paint number in this product family. Public search results for \u003cstrong\u003e8M0152306\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eParts Desk Insight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships same or next day for fast Canada wide shipping. ⚓\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MERC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563922227236,"sku":"8M0152306","price":25.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/7e76899f9e40039ee590334001fc70ff14d8367c7f0572cbf43553b91030cd72.webp?v=1776654901","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/merc-1265","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
