You can, but it'll look bizarre and make it run hotter. The rear housing half can be removed just by undoing the three through bolts, but to remove the front housing half you have to have a pulley puller (special tool) and a press to reinstall the pulley. Better to mask off and just paint the visible part of the stator (between the two housing halves) and maybe the pulley. |

When I had my alternator apart to change the bearings, I painted the center section from it's previous rust......... But that's all I'd paint. |
