    Paint or no paint

    Is the cooling fan and the shroud painted on a 72S? If so was the factory color silver? Thanks Charlie

    No Charlie... Natural color of the metal with whatever finish process the factory used...

    Hope this helps

    The fan is just supposed to be bare Magnesium. All the Magnesium treatments I have seen are chromate or similar conversion coatings that make a brownish, blackish, or greenish color. All fans are silvery/gray so they must be bare Magnesium. Some people polish them and treat them with Gibbs oil to delay the oxidation.
