I got my fan tips painted today. They are definitely more visible now. Thanks for the idea, Dennis. I suspect that I'll install a shroud sometime in the future.

Hello, Gene.Originally Posted by SmithKid
You might be thanking me too soon. I painted my blade tips with latex paint so that the red paint would not dissolve the black engine paint that was used to paint the fan. Well ......
The paint on the front of the blades has held up great:

But the vacuum at the back of the blade tips was powerful enough to suck the paint right off. Wow!

We will have to see how yours holds up. What kind of paint did you use?
