The black is all powdercoated with a zinc powder "primer".
The big bits of tinware were all new from porsche (don't ask how much!). All the rest is what came off the car - the two side bits of tin were a little grotty and the powder coat hasn't come out so so pretty.
The fan and duct were 1988 vintage according to the castings. They were a little ratty, but for £40 seemed rude not too. They came out a bit "average" but better than they were.
Grand total £130+vat - seems cheap way to lengthen the life of the tinware.

All done;
Fan glass bead blasted and left raw metal, rough mat finish and is pitted where the corrosion was. I've put ACF50 http://www.acf-50.co.uk/ on it for now. But may spray clear laquer, as the pits will attract filth.
The duct housing is blasted and coated black, as is all the engine tin and bumper brackets while I was at it.
