Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 802878Q53 clear coat enhances and protects your outboard’s paint, giving it that factory-fresh look and extra resistance against the harsh marine environment. Applied over your finish color, it seals the surface to prevent oxidation, fading, or peeling caused by sun, salt, and water.

Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Quicksilver 802878Q53 is a genuine Mercury Marine finish product, made to complement the company’s factory paints. Generic clear coats might look good at first but can yellow, fade, or flake under prolonged sun and salt exposure.

Mercury’s OEM clear enamel is UV-stable and built for marine use, maintaining a hard, glass-like finish that lasts season after season. It’s the trusted choice for achieving that original factory gloss and long-term protection.
