I painted my GSR alternator and I didnt mask in the vents, so the spray hit the wound coils, is that bad? I wanted it to look new again so I restored it with a temp aluminum paint, it looks great. Im worried that painting the coils may affect the charging ability?

 

It shouldn't effect it in anyway that i can see. All the business is done on the inside of the coil of wire.

It wouldnt see it any different than having an old alternator covered in dirt/grime.

 

i dont know much about this, but im positive that your not supposed to get water on ur alrternator. but i dont know about paint. from what the other guy said, ^^ id go with that.

 

bump for more replies

 

YOur fine, nothing is going to happen, that part is exposed to the elements.
