Spraying the 18" Radiator Fan another colour

Dallas · 20th March 2015, 15:42

Has anybody thought about spraying the 18" radiator fan another colour ?

Having a solar red ZT, I thought if the large mean looking fan was bright yellow, you would certainly see it spinning.

Or, do you think a layer of paint may interfere with the fans performance ?

Maybe just a thin layer... or maybe not.

Painting it won't be a problem but......IMO

you'd have to take care to spray it on very evenly or it will affect the balance ........

Yes, thats what I was thinking.

Would be best to leave well enough alone me thinks.

I stand very well corrected Royal Air Force it is !
I only got it slightly wrong and did use capitals !
The other idea may be to put on an optical illusion style of effect so that when the fan is triggered, it would send the mind mad by trying to keep up!
I'm really not helping here am I, sorry just a thought.....
