I love the idea of powder coasing but have a reservation. The way these engines get wet from the decklid opening, the fact that you have to sand the ends of the blades for clearance afterwords (leaving them bare magnesium), and that I live near the ocean....I would think the bare ends would start to corrode (in an area hard to see), and then corrode under the powder coat.....and by the time you saw the damage the fan would be useless. As I already have 1 fan/housing that is shot, and dropped an aluminum one that SUCKS....and cannot seem to source a good replacement mag fan/housing.....wouldn't paint be better? It is easier to repair yourself, the ends of the blades can stay coated (if you lay it on thin)?
