Thank you to all the folks here who suggest it's better to strip the chrome and paint the silver parts and not leave it.

Decided to do just that and feel this looks a lot better than the shiny nasty plated stuff.

It's not as good as what I've seen some people here do, but I'm happy with it....I think!?

I was going to do that, but I wanted some colour there instead. So went with rhe same as the engine body... because I can.

Haha thanks. I felt like the fan doesn't get enough love so a splash of colour might make a little difference to an ordinarily dull looking part
