What have people you done to their fan housing to make it look good?
Can you put engine paint on it? I think that I have seen it power coated? If it’s polished how do you do it and how long does it last? Are there other options? |

Chris,
If you want it to look original without having to use a lot of elbow grease, you can have it hydrohoned. It is like dry bead blasting which uses glass beads and high pressure air as the carrier, but instead of air, water is used as the vehicle to transport the abrasive. The end result is a much more uniform softer smoother finish that is much easier to clean than a dry blasted surface. One definite advantage is there is no paint that will peel or fade and you can clean it without doing any damage to the finish. I have received many compliments on the results. Scott |
