Fan Blade Color
« on: August 31, 2016, 01:07:03 »
I just soda blasted the fan. I expected that only grime would be removed but it seems that paint was removed too. If it should be paineted, what color is it supposed to be?

Thanks.

Ram magnesium.  No paint.  However on most restorations it is painted silver.

No paint, bare metal.
