Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 80287854 Leveler is the finishing touch that takes your paint job from “good” to “factory-fresh.” It helps wet out the enamel surface, allowing it to flow evenly before drying. This reduces texture and leaves behind a smooth, glossy finish that looks freshly sprayed from the Mercury production line.

It’s ideal for restoring older outboards or touching up repairs where brush strokes or uneven spray patterns might show. The result? A clean, seamless finish that looks great and holds up to the marine environment.

Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Mercury 80287854 is a factory-formulated leveler, made to work perfectly with Mercury’s OEM paint products. Generic surface levelers may not be chemically compatible with marine enamels, which can cause hazing, dull spots, or poor adhesion.

Mercury’s OEM formula ensures proper flow-out, gloss retention, and long-term durability — tested under real marine conditions. It’s the same product Mercury uses to achieve their factory finishes on engines and drives.
