    My latest go at this.
    Looks like a nice clean foundation -- all you gotta do now is mask off the pulley and rattle-can it red.

    If you haven't tried it, get a piece of magnesium, bead blast it and then put it in the parts washer.

    Don’t I wish it was that easy Jim.

    Takes a lot of work and beer to make a fan look this crappy.

    What ya do is go to Walmart and get a can of this, it has the right tanish color. A thin spotty coat then some fine steel wool or light solvent to give it that uneven used look.

    I like Gibbs... It matches the JB Weld on the blades where an 'expert' changed the fan belt.

    I see that some of Mark's fans are close to black in color (upper left in the picture below). Was this ever an original finish? I ask because my fan is very dark, almost black and the finish looks original.
