Awhitewookie Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Hello everyone! I didn't know if I should put this in Gener Audio, Painting, Off topic or what. Anyway, I was wondering if it is safe for me to paint my alternator. I bought a 250amp powermaxusa alt and it came just standard metal finish. I want to paint it to have it stand out with my 0gauge. Which color do you think would look best? I was thinking white would look good because my car is white. But my 0gauge is blue. Thanks for ideas!

Awhitewookie Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Posted March 22, 2013 Do I need to tape off every single cutout? Or is paint on the coils and blade okay?

Carbon Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 NO NO NO! lol remove the guts from the casing, Than sandblast, prime, and paint the casing
Awhitewookie Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Posted March 22, 2013 Makes sense. Dang I've never taken an alternator apart. I'm guessing I shouldn't attempt it?

Neither have I so I have zero instruction for you lol Remove it from the vehicle is your serious about paint it and take a good look at it. Than call the company and ask if disassembly will void your warranty.
