Welcome Brad, and sometimes the posts can bring on a flood of comments, and we all learn more than we knew before.
I never knew about the issue with the coatings on a prop, and now I know more. When you get down to it , our aircraft are old, and some A&Ps are used to working on newer aircraft, even getting their ratings well after the production of our 150s.
Now you would expect a certified A&P should be well versed in all the issues and updates, but it doesn't always happen.
So maybe the polished prop was "missed" on ther last annual, or considered a non-issue.
Good luck with a really nice airplane. What are your plans for the next aircraft?
John
