I wonder if powder coating a aluminum prop would improve the way an
aluminum prop works?

Doubtful, in my opinion. The powder coating will add nothing to the
rigidity of the prob and is not a smooth, polished finish.

Aluminum can be hard coat anodized, polished and the surface can approach a
Rockwell hardness that is close to stainless, however the coating is only a
few microns thick at best and will basically be a non-event in terms of
making the bulk of the aluminum blades any stiffer.

But very cool information.
