If you need a factory-matched blue-gray metallic spray can for Yamaha cowling touch-ups or a larger respray, this is the correct product for components that use the 4D (04D) Dark Bluish Gray Metallic paint code. Yamaha ACC-MRNPA-IT-4D is designed for chip repair, scratch coverage, panel blending, or full overcoat application on matching Yamaha outboard parts.
Quick Specs:
What this Yamaha spray paint is used for
This factory-matched outboard engine cowling spray paint is a good fit when you want the repaired area to stay close to the original Yamaha finish without guessing at generic marine paint colors.
How to confirm you need 4D paint code
Not sure if it’s 4D or 8D?
4D is Dark Bluish Gray Metallic. Yamaha also offers 8D Dark Blue Gray as a separate option, so it is worth confirming before you spray.
How to spray for a factory-like finish
Prep work and light coats matter more than anything else, especially with metallic colors.
Prep
Spray steps
Optional clear coat
For a more finished look, apply 2–3 thin clear coats after the final color coat has flashed and dried. Let the clear cure fully before reinstalling decals, covers, or hardware.
How many cans do I need?
This 2-pack is a practical choice if you are blending a larger area, repainting more than one section, or want an extra can on hand for future touch-ups.

Features:
→ What is Yamaha ACC-MRNPA-IT-4D spray paint used for?
It is factory-matched marine spray paint for Yamaha outboard components with the 4D/04D paint code, used for touch-ups, repaired-area blending, or full overcoat application.
→ What color is Yamaha 4D or 04D spray paint?
It is Dark Bluish Gray Metallic, often searched as blue-gray metallic or metallic blue-gray.
→ How do I confirm I need 4D and not 8D?
Match your outboard’s model/year and color code to the product listing. 4D is Dark Bluish Gray Metallic, while 8D is Dark Blue Gray.
→ Do I need primer before spraying?
If you are spraying over bare material, repaired spots, or peeling areas, primer helps with adhesion and finish quality. For simple scuff-and-cover touch-ups over sound paint, prep is still essential.
→ How do I avoid runs or a blotchy metallic look?
Use light coats, keep a steady spray distance, allow flash time between passes, and avoid heavy wet coats. Metallic finishes usually look better when you build coverage gradually.
→ Should I use clear coat?
A clear coat is optional, but it can improve the final look and add protection. Apply 2–3 thin clear coats after the color coats, then allow full cure time before reinstalling decals or covers.
→ How many cans do I need?
Small touch-ups may use only a fraction of one can, but larger blends can take one or more cans. A full cowling refinish usually needs multiple color coats plus primer and clear.
