    I have a Littlefield 1471 and do not like the polished look. Is it possible to paint the blower or will it just come off? Any other ideals would be a great help. Thanks

    Don't want or have the time to send the blower off to get done. It will be going on engine next week, just looking for a quick way to get the look I want.

    If you would like a flat silver finish clean the case with denatured alcohol and spray it with a few coats of cold-galvanizing compound.This stuff is an industrial coating that lasts until you choose to remove it,hope this helps.

    Mike leave it polished it may not make you go faster but it might get you laid!!! I get laid enough so I used BBQ grill black on my old one. The new one is coated this way from DMPE.
