I agree casting might be for you the easiest way to go, then spray it. It's an unusual shape
but a good enough copy for 3D printing could be done in OpenSCAD from a few caliper measurements:
disk dia, disk rim height, overall height, dip angle, top paddle width, bottom paddle width,
top indent length/width/depth and paddle front radius ought to be enough.
