Can the weathervane be painted or customized?

Troubleshooting
Weathervane does not spin freely.
Ensure the stem is not obstructed and that the NSEW arms and arrow are not catching on anything. Check that the clamp bracket is not overtightened, which could bind the stem.
NSEW arms are loose.
Tighten the cross head fittings securing the NSEW arms to the main stem.
Bracket feels insecure.
Ensure the clamp bracket is fully tightened onto the mounting surface. If mounting on a wall or different surface, ensure appropriate additional fixings are used and properly installed.
Rust spots appearing.
Although powder coated, prolonged exposure to harsh elements may cause minor surface rust. Lightly sand the affected area and touch up with black exterior paint suitable for metal.
