Painting Fan Blades
Has anyone painted their radiator fan blades? If so, post pics of them. I'm in the process of cleaning mine and thought they would stay cleaner looking if they were some color other than white. TIA.

Here's pic of mine after I painted them yellow and reinstalled them. |
I did mine in "Aluminum". You can't really see it all that well but there is a picture in this thread:

Here is where he mentioned it (post #157): If you never read thru that post, it really is a wonderful rebuild https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...me#post2725619 |

I remember seeing Art's car at the RR 2004. It sure did BLING!!
Didn't he get it chrome'd in FL somewhere?? |

After seeing the pic above, I'm considering chroming my fan blades.. It might be neat with the black shroud.
I emailed this place: http://www.muellercorp.com/chromeplatingplastic.htm To see what they charge.. Also, thanks for the link to the rad. hose kit.. I guess one of the end of the hose kit didn't work on the water pump housing? |

I did buy chromed ends but they wouldn't fit on the upper radiator hose (pretty much either side). You can see them on the lower hose. Actually the SS hose was so thick that I had to grind some away after the clamp to keep it from rubbing on the water pump pulley. I may have to do a little more grinding, but we'll see once it starts. ;) |
