Default prop refinishing




It is pressed in only! A shop with a good sized arbor press could do it
for you, but I would replace the rubber if it is disassembled.


I have a press, I wasn't sure if that's all it was though. Can
replacement rubber pieces be purchased still? I do like the ease and
effectiveness of powder coating.


No. Unless you move into a 2-part urethane or epoxy finish. Then it
still will wear off eventually.



Well any finish will wear off eventually, oddly the existing finish is
not worn the way I usually see, instead it has thousands of pock marks
all the way down to the aluminum.




The least of your worries. The action of the prop will take the paint
off faster than solvents it might encounter.



I painted a lawnmower once years ago and the first time I slopped some
gasoline on it the paint washed off like mud.
