Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Quicksilver 802878Q1 is a genuine Mercury Marine paint, formulated specifically to match Mercury’s Phantom Black finish. Off-brand paints might look close but rarely match perfectly or withstand marine exposure.

Mercury’s OEM enamel is UV-stable, fuel-resistant, and salt-tested — ensuring a consistent color match and a finish that won’t flake, fade, or dull prematurely. It’s the same paint used in Mercury’s own production and service facilities.
