Anyone painted their main pulley fan like in this picture of an RS engine?
If so whats the painting needing done, could you use red caliper paint do you reckon?

I'd get a high heat enamel or powdercoat it. I was thinking about polishing or painting mine. I'm not sure which yet. A nice sating finish with a clearcoat would look good I think.
Other have said you should only go three ways... Black, Red or Yellow.

I forgot silver... But then that's the stock color... Though yours looks better than new. I think the oroginals are just clearcoated silver. It looks like that's what mine is.
I was also thinking about going the serpentine belt route too.

Wow - they all look great!
I have read that you have to be careful painting of powder-coating as the clearance between the fan blade tips and housing is very small -- apply paint too thick and the fan won't spin freely. Has anyone who has done this encountered this problem?

p.s. Marc, after seeing your engine bay, I'm ashamed to post a pic. of mine!

Dry road conditions only. I’m a prisoner to the clean...
I dream of sloshing around one day in the wet gooey mud...
Now that would be fun...
Thanks for the compliments,
