removed rust and paint off prop

[h.l hunley]

i have a 1983 johnson 115hp motor on a ebbtide dyna trak 162 my stainless prop is a 13x19 painted black. it had minor surface rust on the tips of each blade were the paint had wore off over time. I cleaned and stripped all the rust and remaining paint off the prop. my question since it is not the polished stainless finish, can I leave it the way it is now or should I paint it again.also this boat is only in fresh water. THANKS FOR ANY INFO

You can repaint it to make it look pretty.Or don't waste your time.It won't hurt anything the way it is.J
