Powdercoated alternator casing, now it won't charge.

Powdercoated alternator casing, now it won't charge.
I got around to putting my powdercoated casing I had onto my alternator and now it won't charge. I also made sure I buffed off the powdercoat in all the important grounding places before I put things together. I've got continuity between the bolts on the alternator and the engine itself. What could I have missed?

Well the "no charge" light does not come on at all. Knowing that some alternators will not charge if the light is busted I ran a test bulb to the indicator terminal and still got nothing. If I broke one of the lead wires I'm sure the light would have gone on. Now I'm just at a complete loss.

Duh...that makes sense. Sorry I didn't remember it until just now...mine was powdercoated too but the company that did the powdercoating masked off the inside surface of the casing where it mates with the stator. I also painted the stator, but I masked the 'lip" that mates with the casing.
Again, sorry I didn't remember this earlier, but in doing it that way, I had no issues.
