local question as I didnt get help in the General Support area.

Hey… I put this question out on the General Rotary Tech Support.

I have my alternator apart and want to paint the inside parts. I just want to get an idea of what type of paint to use so I don’t goof up the installation.

I know a few people have done this. I just don’t want to start reinventing the wheel and I have searched but pant type is not stated.

my question link = https://www.rx7club.com/general-rotary-tech-support-11/paining-alternator-question-464081/

Thank

Tek

I'm sure any high temp ceramic based paint will do, but powdercoating would be a much better choice.

Blue... the paint is for the coils on the instide of the Alt.

My bad... I've never heard of anyone painting the coils. Lets see some pics when it's done.
