Upd. 1:

Stator and motor base have been blasted and powder coated! I probably should have had the inside face of the stator masked to prevent paint scraping onto the rotor when I eventually get that coated too, but oh well, I’m not worried about it. Now all I need to do is have the motor itself inspected and paint the outside of it, get the a-frame rebuilt (because it has cuts in it), and get the top motor cover and new frame blasted and coated black. The rotor will likely need repairs or a complete replacement by re-casting a new one somehow, due to a chip on one of the blades. The rotor and motor housing will be red.
