Why Choose Mercury OEM
The Quicksilver 802878Q12 is a genuine Mercury Marine enamel, formulated specifically to match original Mariner silver paint codes. Off-brand paints often look similar but don’t deliver the same color accuracy or long-term durability in saltwater or sun exposure.
Mercury’s OEM paint is tested for adhesion, UV resistance, and corrosion protection under real-world conditions. It’s the same high-quality paint used by Mercury service centers — ensuring your engine’s finish looks right and lasts season after season.
