Summary:A method can comprise: scanning, via an optical scanner, a tip of an airfoil of a bladed rotor, the tip including a coating disposed thereon, the coating comprising a metal plating and a plurality of protrusions, each protrusion in the plurality of protrusions extending from the metal plating; comparing a coating parameter of the coating to a coating parameter threshold based on scanner data from the optical scanner; and determining whether the coating maintains sufficient coverage of the tip of the airfoil based on the comparing.
