Tape the end of the blades or sand them down or they'll rub inside the fan housing. Do a search on Pelican's main tech forum, there's a million fan powdercoating threads....

Shuriken (lit: "hand hidden blade") is a traditional Japanese concealed weapon that was generally used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing or slashing an opponent's arteries. They are sharpened hand-held blades made from a variety of everyday items such as needles, nails, and knives, as well as coins, washers, Porsche cooling fans and other flat plates of metal. Shuriken were mainly a supplemental weapon to the more commonly used katana (sword) or yari (spear) in a warrior's arsenal, though they often played a pivotal tactical role in battle. The art of wielding the shuriken is known as shuriken-jutsu, and was mainly taught as a minor part of the martial arts curriculum of many famous schools, such as Yagyu Ryu, Katori Shinto Ryu, Itto Ryu, Kukishin Ryu, and Togakure Ryu. In the modern western world, shuriken can often be purchased online as collector's items.
Shuriken are commonly known in the West as "Chinese stars," "throwing stars" or "ninja stars." However, the shuriken took many different shapes and designs during the time that they were used.
The major varieties of Shuriken are the bo shuriken and the hira shuriken, or shaken.

I bead blasted my fan, only to find a moonscape of porosity in the casting: It takes a reasonable amount of wet sanding to true the surface, for I went the rattle can route vs a defect hiding powder coating. Spoke with the Dupont 'Duplicolour' tech service, following their recommendation to use the Engine enamel ( ceramic). A primer was not used, and the fan looks perfect after 5K miles of fun.
I went the paint route, for if it did not work out, it would be easy to strip and move on to another paint, or powder coat.
