Can I repaint my alternator?
Im trying to freshen up my engine compartment, am I able to repaint my alternator? (since im going to spray the bracket I though I would ask.) To my best knowledge, I believe you can.
What are your thoughts? Thanks

yes just make sure to mask the holes,terminals etc so the paint doesnt get inside

Summit sells a nice chrome 60 amp unit for under $90. Don't see how you could mask it and have it look good.
