I decided to give powder coating a try in my buddy's homemade set up so after disassembly and media blasting the fresh air heater I picked up the other week, I coated and cooked the blower fan. The rest of the heater will be done in a bronze spray on hammered finish.

Came out pretty nice if you ask me.

His oven is big enough to cook the original 16" wheels so the plan is to do them as soon as I decide on a color.
