How to Paint Your Alternator

Paint Your AlternatorHow to Paint Your AlternatorUser-Submitted Article
Changing the color of your alternator is really easy. It will dramatically change the look under the hood.
.Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions.Things You'll Need:
Alternator
Brake cleaner
Paint
Small Paint brush
1
STEP 1: Remove alternator from vehicle. Follow instructions in your vehicle's manual.

2
STEP 2: Clean the alternator with the Brake Cleaner and a rag. Take your time here. The cleaner it is, the nicer the paint job will come out in the end.

3
STEP 3: Using a small paint brush (I used a 3/8") start to paint the alternator. Be sure to get in between all the fins and curves. Wait for it to fully dry.

4
STEP4: Reapply a second coat. This will assure that everything is covered uniformly. This will also make the paint a little more durable.

5
STEP 5: Reinstall the alternator (after it has dried) into the vehicle. Be sure to install it correctly. Now step back and enjoy the work you just did all by yourself!

hmm speaking of this I just had my alternator rebuilt and the guys that rebuilt it cleaned it up really well and threw on a light coat of paint on the coil fields as well. I"ll update pics next weekend once my car is finished. biggrin.gif
