I'm putting in a larger ventilation fan (previously used a range hood fan). The acid fumes got the best of the old one, but lasted probably a 1-1.5 years anodizing on most weekends only. So I was thinking about the metal casing on this one and was hopping that maybe a good coat of paint on exposed areas might help keep corrosion down and keep it from falling in my ano tank. So does anyone know if there is a particular type of paint that might help best with this theory? I'll probably paint it no matter what and I know I can't keep the fumes out of the motor, but I'd like to take any additional steps I can.
