Fan and Shroud Refurb in SF Bay Area
Does anybody have a recommendation for the best person to powder coat and refresh the fan and shroud? I'd like to have them pop out the rivets and retreat the alternator cover section. Then powder coat the fan and shroud then reassemble. Shipping it is fine if they are trustworthy and do good prompt work.

Out-gassing
There are earlier threads on this subject. The cleaned fan and shroud should be oven-baked (by themselves) prior to powder coating and oven-baking to out-gas the fan and shroud metal. If that method is not used, after the two items are powdered coated, you may get some bubbles in the finished product(s) as the trapped gases in the metal attempt to escape. On two sets of fans and shrouds that we had done, one set did out-gas after powder coating and we did get just a few bubbles. Sorry, I do not have any images that show those few bubbles. Just a tip, Type 2
