An alternator failed on one of my Mercruiser engines and I've ordered a new aftermarket replacement. From the product photos, the new alternator is unpainted. Given the hostile environment of the engine room, I am assuming that it is wise to paint the new unit before installation. Is there any reason NOT to paint it? Are there any special preparations for painting an alternator or steps to achieve quality, effective results?
Thanks in advance...
